It was Matt and Mark’s past work experiences that shaped the way NewClub was founded, how we look at the world, and what impact we intend to have. Within the context of this handbook, we wanted to share some critical aspects of how NewClub was envisioned as a startup.

Bootstrapping & Funding

When we founded NewClub in 2017, we intended to be a bootstrapped business as long as we could. Largely, we succeeded in every way we wanted to.

As we grow, we may take on additional funding depending on how it fits with our goals and which investors are interested. We share that because it’s important to be transparent about our intentions, while still keeping the mindset of a lean and financially independent business.
