About
24six9 is a global not‑for‑profit community that supports founders, investors, researchers and students building deep‑tech and mission‑driven startups. We provide practical, hands‑on support; mentorship, technical and commercial workshops, partner introductions, and localized chapter programs - so founders don’t have to build alone.
Our chapter model is human first: members, i.e, the "kindred”, self‑organize locally, co‑create programming, and bootstrap sustainable chapters that reflect regional needs. That grassroots design ensures chapters become self‑sustaining hubs of talent and resources, delivering tailored support for complex domains like AI, robotics, advanced materials, and climate tech.
We champion merit‑based access: opportunity follows contribution and outcomes, not pedigree. Through curated events, peer circles, startup clinics, and partner initiatives, we reduce isolation, accelerate product‑market fit, and open doors to funding and commercial partnerships. As a non‑profit, our priority is founder success and ecosystem resilience, building networks that scale ideas, careers, and social mobility across markets.
