Disco’s Customer Stories highlights the impact our customers are making through AI-Powered Learning.

PORCH is an exclusive club of international entrepreneurs that come together to support one another on the personal side of the journey, to learn and grow - together. Built on the foundation of community and shared learning, PORCH is built to give immigrant founders a greater chance at success.

PORCH’s Mission: More Than A Program

Starting a company is never easy—but doing it in a new country without local knowledge or a support network adds another layer of complexity. PORCH was built to change that.

Unlike traditional accelerators focused only on pitch decks and fundraising, PORCH equips immigrant founders with the tools to thrive personally and professionally—covering everything on the unspoken side of being a founder. 

“Founders need to take care of themselves before they take care of their business.” — Hunter Weitzman, Co-Founder, PORCH

As PORCH grew, so did its operational demands. Juggling multiple tools made onboarding clunky and fragmented the learning experience. They needed a more scalable way to deliver high-touch programming—with just one operator behind the scenes.

The Challenge: Scaling Without Headcount

PORCH was operating with a lean team, but the tools they relied on weren’t built for scale. Managing onboarding, content delivery, event programming, and communication required stitching together five different platforms – that didn’t speak to each other.

This fragmented experience created friction for founders and overhead for the ops team, especially during onboarding, which often took over a week to complete manually.

"Unless you make it easy for members to access value, it doesn’t matter how great your programming is." — Hunter Weitzman, Co-Founder, PORCH

Disco as the Solution: One Platform to Run It All

Disco gave PORCH a single platform to manage the entire founder experience—onboarding, events, curriculum, and communication. The result: a streamlined, branded, and intuitive learning environment that delivered more value with dramatically less work.

"Disco gave us leverage. It feels like we gained a full team—without needing to add anyone."— PORCH Team

“With Disco, one person can run a learning community of hundreds, and make it look like a team of 20 is behind it. We needed tools that make it easy to run Porch — and Disco delivered. Disco has saved us so much time we probably couldn’t even put a number on it. The real metric here is that we couldn’t do what we do without Disco.” — Hunter Weitzman, Co-Founder, PORCH
