Resources for entrepreneurs who build differently.

Entrepreneurship is a creative act of mind, body, and soul. And that can be a lonely journey.

Ember exists to give you the support of someone who gets it.

November 2026 FeatureHow to Not Knowby Simone StolzoffEach month I go deep on 1 resource from the List: what stood out to me and how to apply it.Read the Feature

Meet Sarah.

I went the corporate path, climbed the ladder, and played the game. Over time, I started to lose my spark and I couldn't ignore the feeling I was meant to do something else. I just didn't know what. So, I quit Google without a plan to figure it out.

I collected tons of resources that kept me company, guided me, and expanded my mind (the List is still growing). I want to share them with you, along with what they taught me.
