Chase Harmer, having built a few startups from zero to hundreds of millions in valuation started a non profit to help new founders build process and scale by offering free guidance, education and support along with a cast of other successful founders from the e-commerce and technology industries. Building companies from ground zero and making them successful is not easy work. Its a stressful, under appreciated job that requires risk, luck and significant sacrifice with most founders having to go through this process alone, without any support or guidance.
Over 80% of all startups fail after the first year in business with another 15% closing their doors after three years. With only 5% of all startups making it past 3 years an even smaller portion of that 5% go on to earn millions and earn profitability.
Local to Reno, Nevada, Chase’s non profit Founder Sass Society hopes to work with startups in northern Nevada and help them grow into highly productive, job producing organizations for the region.
