Building One Global Ecosystem.

We help startup ecosystem stakeholders - founders, investors, mentors, students, institutions and ecosystem builders - connect and collaborate globally through an inclusive membership platform and Fred, an AI-powered networking assistant.

Born from the belief that opportunity shouldn't be limited by border or privilege, we work to build a unified global ecosystem with equal access to capital, talent, and knowledge. Through technology and collaboration, we bridge information gaps, spark connections, and create space for every startup to thrive.

Our Vision

To be a truly inclusive and empowered global startup ecosystem that provides all startups and other ecosystem stakeholders equal opportunities for growth and success, regardless of their location, background or ethnicity

Join the World's First
Unified Global Startup Ecosystem

WSF welcomes founders, investors, mentors, students, professionals, and every other stakeholder in the global startup world — regardless of where you live, what role you play, or where you are in your journey.

Fred — our AI networking assistant — is currently being built, with launch expected in Q3 2026.

WSF is being built to be a unified global startup ecosystem from its first day. To make sure that it is genuinely universal, free founding memberships are being opened in measured numbers per country during this period. This means we may not be able to offer every applicant a free founding membership.

Please share your details in the form below. If we are able to confirm a free founding membership for you, we will be in touch directly. If we are not, we will reach out when Fred launches and regular memberships open — at which point we will invite you to join at a discounted rate, in recognition of your early interest.

Each free founding membership runs for one year from your date of joining. While we cannot commit to a precise Fred launch date, we expect those joining now to have Fred available for most of their first year.
