Parents

For Institute members with kids, or with kids on the way.

A members' group inside Institute. Investors, founders, and operators who are also parents, and who found it surprisingly hard to meet other parents their age in the Bay Area.

01

Playdates

Gatherings with the kids along, in the Bay Area and wherever enough of us are. Anyone can host one; post it in the group.

02

Counsel

Schools, first days, second and third children, and the things nobody warns you about, from people a year or two ahead of you.

03

Company

Parents who are building and investing at the same pace you are. Newborns to kindergarteners so far, and more on the way.

How it works

Ask to join

Membership is by approval. We'll reach out on Signal.

WhoInstitute members who have kids or are expecting. Partners and firms across venture, public markets, and frontier technology companies.
WhereA private Signal group. Messages disappear after four weeks, so photos of the kids stay in the room.
RulesRecommend other ambitious parents you know. Nothing from the group, and no photo, is shared outside it.
