It fuses the dynamic support of an accelerator with the collaborative spirit of community to elevate your startup marketing skills and help you accelerate your startup’s trajectory.
At the heart of our platform lies a commitment to continuous development—offering members exclusive access to on-demand courses, experts to help you troubleshoot and plan, comprehensive resources like downloadable templates and playbooks, and a vast content library encompassing newsletters, podcasts, and lively forums.

SUM is more than a community; it’s a career catalyst that’ll change the game at your startup, fueling founders and marketers with razor-sharp insights, indispensable tools, and the latest trends to make an impact in their industry.

We drop new courses, templates, and playbooks into our resource library every week to ensure members have access to the latest insights and tools. On a daily basis, members and moderators contribute timely news, insights, and trends to our community spaces.
Many companies offer an education or L&D stipend that can cover the cost of your SUM membership. We’ve drafted a script to help you communicate with your leadership the value of a SUM membership and the reasoning behind why they should cover the cost. Feel free to personalize the note to help pitch it to your startup.
