Our meetings, groups, and services are open to all who share our mission of supporting entrepreneurs in recovery, regardless of where they are in their business journey or background. We strive to foster an environment rooted in:
- Respect and dignity for every individual
- Psychological and emotional safety
- Inclusion, belonging, and connection
- Honest, compassionate, and nonjudgmental dialogue
Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or exclusionary behavior of any kind have no place in Sober Founders. Concerns related to discrimination, harassment, or violations of this statement may be brought to the attention of our leadership, and will be taken seriously and addressed in a timely and thoughtful manner.
We are committed to ongoing learning and improvement in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. This includes periodically reviewing our policies and practices, seeking input from our community, and engaging in education that helps us better support all entrepreneurs in recovery.
By participating in Sober Founders, members, volunteers, and leaders agree to uphold these principles so that together we can maintain a community where every sober founder feels seen, valued, and welcome.
