"If you’re familiar with the $100M Leads book by Alex Hormozi, it’s a great book and it has a lot of the what to do, but Avery has a lot of really in-depth tutorials on how to do it."

Our Members Are Really Making Money With Their Projects

Here's What Our Members Have To Say

“Man, being part of the Early-Stage Founders Discord has been a game-changer for me. The daily calls are the best part — it’s not just another random Zoom call. It’s real, raw convos with other founders sharing what’s working, what’s not, and hyping each other up. Seriously, it’s like having a squad of people who actually get what you’re going through. And shoutout to Avery — the dude is always putting in the work to keep this place valuable. You can tell he genuinely cares. From bringing in cool guest speakers to running these calls every day, it’s wild how much he’s invested in this community. If you’re a founder looking for a place to connect, learn, and not feel alone in the grind, this is where you wanna be. I’ve leveled up a ton since joining and made some dope connections. Highly recommend!“

“I stumbled upon Early Stage Founders on Twitter and was immediately drawn in. The community is an absolute gem for SaaS owners and indie hackers. Networking is a crucial part of our journey, and ESF delivers in spades. From day one, I was able to connect with a diverse group of like-minded, driven individuals who share the same passion for building and growing. The support, insights, and collaboration opportunities here are unparalleled. Whether you're looking to exchange ideas, seek advice, or simply find motivation, ESF is the place to be.“

Evan Letzer
“Being in a real community of entrepreneurs is crucial for solo founders to get feedback and build momentum. There are plenty of quick money groups out there, but ESF is one of the few communities that's serious, with founders focused on building solid, long-term businesses. The big challenge for solo founders with early-stage startups is keeping a steady flow of feedback, which helps you keep moving forward and build a sustainable business every day. Being active and showing up daily are what really matter when you're building a business, and the ESF community is a key part of that journey. Let's go!!!“

My Commitment To You

Why I Build Early Stage Founders

Hey there! My name is Avery Hooks.

Through the years of building my first business, I realized how long and lonely the road of a solo founder really is.

Grinding forward inch by inch and trying to figure everything out alone - reading books, watching YouTube videos, and laying awake at night thinking about how you're going to make this thing happen.

I created Early Stage Founders to solve this problem - to speed up the progress, help founders focus on what works, and put us all in the right environment to succeed, with the right people in our corner.

This isn't a side project for me, this is a full time passion that I'm committed to delivering on for you bigger and better every day.

If you're serious about building your business and building the life you want to live, this community was made for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the goal of this community?

Our goal for each and every member is to reach $5k MRR with their online business, so you can work full time on their own project and enjoy total time and location freedom.

Who is this for?

Early Stage Founders is designed for online business founders who are working on either a SaaS, service, or website project.

Can I invite my co-founder?

Absolutely, we can work out reduced pricing for teams.

How does this differ from online business courses?

Early Stage Founders is first and foremost a community of founders.

We offer Growth Systems, a Swipe File, deals and discounts, and much more on top of our community to help founders reach their goal of earning a living with their online business.

But at the end of the day, we are group of people working to build each other up and achieve the same goal!

Will I have to pay more if the community adds resources?


Never! Since we first started this group, we've continuously added features and resources (and pretty soon we'll be adding tools), and we'll never increase the price for active existing members.
