The In-Between: A Conversation for Founders on Transitions & What Comes Next
The In-Between
A Conversation for Founders About Transition & What Comes Next
Many founders find themselves in the space between chapters after winding down or exiting one company but before the next clear idea.
This intimate, off-the-record conversation brings together founders who’ve been there (or are there now) to talk candidly about transition: how to navigate endings thoughtfully, and how uncertainty often becomes the foundation for what comes next.
We’ll explore:
Common transition patterns founders experience across stages
The emotional and strategic realities of knowing when to pause, reset, or move on
How clarity and momentum tend to return after a transition
This is not a pitch night, a post-mortem, or a therapy session. It’s a peer conversation grounded in experience, perspective, and honesty.
Who it’s for:
Founders navigating a transition: whether you’re winding something down, stepping back, or quietly exploring what comes next.
Format:
Short fireside conversation between Jeff Becker, GP at Antler and Brendan Mahony, CEO and Founder at Sunset, founder circle, and open discussion followed by casual mingling.
Hosted by Antler and Sunset.
