The community
Who Ramen Club is for
Ramen Club is built for startup founders who want peers, accountability, and specific answers while they ship. The community includes founders from pre-revenue projects through businesses above $30k in monthly recurring revenue. Its focus is practical: improving a product, finding customers, using AI well, and keeping momentum when building alone starts to drag.
Early-stage founders
Get feedback before launch, meet people at a similar stage, and ask mentors about validation, growth, sales, legal questions, and AI.
Bootstrapped operators
Share what is working, compare tools and tactics, and learn from founders already running sustainable software businesses.
Founders building with AI
Learn how other founders use AI for product development, research, automation, marketing, and operations without needing to be an ML engineer.
Online membership
What members get
Live learning and demos
Ramen Club runs two live classes a month and a monthly demo day. Sessions cover subjects such as growth, SEO, AI, user research, and agents, and recordings are available when members cannot attend live.
A 500+ founder Slack
Members can ask questions, share work, and get feedback from founders who are actively shipping. Fortnightly introductions and a searchable member directory make it easier to find peers and collaborators.
Specialist mentors
The mentor group covers growth, sales, validation and research, legal questions, and AI and machine learning. Members can tag mentors in the relevant Slack channel or join regular AMAs.
Founder tool discounts
The membership includes offers across 500+ tools, with examples on the Ramen Club site including Stripe, AWS, Notion, and Google Cloud.

How the online and London memberships fit together
Ramen Club is the online membership. Ramen Space is its separate physical coworking membership in Dalston, one minute from Dalston Junction. London founders can use the space for focused work, daily stand-ups, shared lunches, founder events, demo nights, and AI workshops.

Founder
Founded by Charlie Ward
Charlie Ward founded Ramen Club in 2019. Before and alongside building the community, he spent six years working as a UX researcher and product manager across several industries. Inside Ramen Club, he is the mentor for validation and research, helping founders test assumptions, understand users, and decide what to build next.
Charlie and the Ramen team have expanded the original online club into a broader founder ecosystem: Ramen Space, in-person workshops and events, Studio Ramen community work, and founder products. The consistent idea is learning through useful work with other founders nearby, whether that happens in Slack or around a table in Dalston.
