Whether you’re sketching ideas on a napkin or scaling up your company, this is your front door into the 20Fathoms startup ecosystem.
With 20Fathoms, you don’t have to do everything. There’s no “right” order. We meet you where you are and take the journey with you.
Fill out a short intake form or have a conversation with our team. Share your idea, your stage of growth, and what you’re wrestling with.
We map your goals to the right mix of coaching, programs, and connections so you can start making some serious moves.
You plug into the resources that fit right now, then find support as your startup grows and your needs change.
Programs for validation. Coaching for tough decisions. Community for collaboration. Connections for funding. It’s all here and waiting for you.
1:1 and small-group support to help you move faster and avoid common mistakes. Our coaches and mentors help with:
Hands-on, no-fluff learning experiences designed for real founders.
This 10-week program will walk you through a proven process to get your business unstuck and off the ground. You’ll make tangible progress with sessions focused on business essentials, plus benefit from a 2-week bonus dive into customer discovery.
Weekly startup workshops and coaching, every Thursday at 9 am. Drop in for a session on topics like customer discovery, pitching, or fundraising, then stick around for 1:1 coaching and coworking.
Specialized support for Native American entrepreneurs, including coaching, the Indigenous Business & Marketing Essentials program, and IndigiPitch.
You didn’t think we were done, did you? Our list of resources just keeps growing.
Guidance on grants, investors, and funding strategy.
Test your story, get feedback, and build support.
A professional, high-energy workspace where you can focus, meet collaborators, and feel like part of something bigger.
Workshops, meetups, and networking that connect you with founders, mentors, talent, and champions.
Connections/introductions to a coordinated network of regional organizations working together to help startups grow.
Behind every business plan is a person building something that matters. We’ve seen founders turn emerging ideas into fully formed businesses, entrepreneurs find clarity in a single coaching session, and teams land customers, secure funding, and make their first hires.
Every story is different, but all share one thing in common—it got easier once they weren’t doing it alone.
Not at all. Think of our resources as a menu, not a checklist. We’ll help you choose what’s most useful for where you are right now.
Nope! Many of our resources are low- or no-cost thanks to regional support and grant funding. We can also help you explore funding options when you’re ready.
Spoiler: No stage is a “perfect” stage. Everyone needs support at every stage of their journey, whether you’re just starting out or running a more mature business.
20Fathoms is an inclusive community for folks building something: a business, an idea, a career, or simply a more connected work life. We’re dedicated to learning about you (and your business, if you have one) so we can connect you to the right support, whether that’s within 20Fathoms or through our regional partners.
We support businesses of all stages, across industries. We have a strong emphasis on scalable, innovative businesses, but we welcome a wide variety of ventures.
We’ll connect with you and you’ll have a 1:1 convo with our team. We’ll review your needs, goals, and timing and recommend the resources, services, or programs that best support you.
Membership gives you access to the coworking space, but most of our startup services are available even if you’re not coworking.
If you’re thinking, “I’m not sure where to start,” you’re exactly where you should be. Tell us more about you and we’ll help you figure out the rest.
