We’re building programs, community, and content for non-founder startup leaders.
Early employee leaders have a LOT of responsibility and make a big impact, but lack the high-quality networks and resources available to founders and later-stage execs.
We’re here to change that. We aim to be the very best resource for high-potential, non-founder talent, who deserve more support to succeed and thrive on the rollercoaster of startup life.
With Fort Light, leaders change their trajectory and access a supportive community to help them grow and win.

I’m Annie, and I’m building Fort Light because I want to help fellow operators win big, and to have more success and less pain along the journey of building.
I run Fort Light along with our team of experienced Executives in Residence (EIRs).
Our community is so much bigger than our small but mighty team — we’re lucky to collaborate with awesome operators and nominators who share our values for building and leading, and who mentor our members and help us grow.
