AI Start Up Founders!! This
Is Your Inner Circle

The World’s First Invite-Only Network for AI-First Startup Founders

You’re building the future,
but the ecosystem isn’t built for you.
Investors who ‘don’t get’ AI. Talent wars over engineers.
& a sea of generic ‘startup’ communities where AI is an afterthought.
This isn’t a rant.

This is why we built the Llama Club.

Here, every FOUNDER is
Building AI as the core product – not just a feature.
Past the ‘idea stage’ – MVP-ready or scaling fast.
Committed to giving as much as they take.”
