FoundersCard brings executive-style perks to entrepreneurs -- special offer for BetaNews readers

FoundersCard is a membership-based community designed for entrepreneurs which offers access to invite-only networking events throughout the world and provides various perks. The latter includes things like discounts for airfare, postal services and VIP treatment at upscale hotels.

The community, which boasts 11,000 members, just added complimentary Avis First memberships (premium service) with 25 percent discounts on car rentals and between five to 10 percent off for JetBlue flights.

Some of the FoundersCard partners includes Apple, hotels like Hilton HHonors, Mandarin Oriental and Ace Hotel, services like UPS, Rackspace and MailChimp and airline companies such as Virgin Atlantic, Lufthansa, Hertz and BlackJet.

As you may imagine, the membership comes at a considerable price -- $595 per year -- which undoubtedly hinders its appeal. But if you're interested, FoundersCard now offers a 33 percent discount for BetaNews readers.

You'll still have to shell out $395 for a yearly membership, but if you're the type of person who travels a lot or spends plenty of time staying in hotels it might be an interesting proposition.
