People of RippleX

We've built alongside these founders from Day 1, and so can you.

A mosaic of people who we have had the pleasure to witness grow & support early in their journey.

Letting the community speak for themselves :)

Kaito Cunningham

Co-founder of Utopia Labs

RippleX was the most tactical fellowship I've been a part of in my undergrad - both as a founder and with my current role in VC. Especially as a solo-founder, the Ripple team acted as an extension to a lot of the key activities for my business - whether it was sharing operations/sales/gtm strategies, reviewing my deck, or just being there to help me out with smaller tasks that were crucial to progressing every single day. Not only was the education/curriculum top-notch, but the network and people I've been able to meet have been everything!

Madi Rifkin

Founder of Mount

RippleX gave me a front-row seat to how VCs think and invest. As a founder in the middle of our seed raise, it couldn’t have come at a better time. Felt way more prepared thanks to the community.

Steven Tey

Founder of dub.co

RippleX has been a truly transformative experience for me – both as a founder and an angel investor. It has taught me the technicalities of fundraising from both ends of the table, which is really helpful for me as I raise money down the line.

Roger Cawdette

Co-founder of Village Labs

Whether you're a prospective founder or investor, understanding the fundamentals of venture funds and startup financings will go a long way in helping you navigate the crazy world of startups. As someone who's worked in VC and is now building a company, I can't over-emphasize the number of times I've relied on the lessons learned from Dom and the Ripple community.

Founder @ jaimy.ai

RippleX 2024 was an incredible experience for me and my co-founder Jack. The team gave us hands-on support across product, GTM, pitch practice, and customer intros—and continued to help even after the program ended. One of the most underrated parts was building real friendships with other fellows, many of whom became our first customers. Highly recommend RippleX for any B2B software team—take full advantage of the intros!

Co-founder of Inertia Labs

The curriculum and conversations you have in the fellowship are unmatched, everyone I've spoken to in the program has been thoughtful and incredibly intelligent. Overall, the fellowship has provided me with a deeper perspective on how I think about startups, venture, and approaches to thinking.

I never felt like I was being lectured; lessons felt like a conversation you wanted to think about for a while after you walked away.

Arielle Lok

Co-founder of Peko Produce

Ripple was unlike any other venture fellowship. They emphasized hands-on learning more than anything else, and every lesson was so practical in a real world setting. I was able to gain 10 amazing friends from across the continent, and I finally made the leap from funder to founder with the support of Ripple and my peer cohort!

Andrew Somers

Co-founder of thnkrAI

Ripple has supported us heavily all the way from idea stage all the way through acquisition. From helping us get in front of the right customers, asking hard questions that push us further, and believing in what we're building at every step, I can accurately say that we wouldn't be where we are today without them.

Founder of Canarie AI

I think sometimes there's a point in your startup rollercoaster, where you are so focused on just building, selling, working, etc. that you don't go back to learn. So there's certain things like, whether it's an article by YC, whether it's a video that Katie shared with me on how to look at my landing page, stuff like that... those are kind of things where you just need to take a step back and just like, chew on something, learn a little bit more and like, reignite the appetite to learn.

And a lot of them become 10x operators and investors too!
