Our Story

Guava started with a simple belief: founders shouldn’t have to build alone—or fight the same access battles over and over again. After years in classrooms, boardrooms, and venture, our founder saw how often talented entrepreneurs were locked out of the networks, capital, and context they needed to grow.

Today, we focus on curating rooms, relationships, and opportunities that move businesses—and the people behind them—forward.

What We Stand For

Community First

Everything starts with the humans in the room. We design experiences that help founders feel seen, supported, and connected.

Curated Rooms

We care more about the mix of people than the size of the guest list. Small, thoughtful gatherings create the biggest outcomes.

Access & Visibility

We use our relationships with brands, platforms, and institutions to create pathways founders might not reach on their own.

Real Conversations

We make space for the honest version of the journey, the wins, the pivots, and the “I’m still figuring it out.”
