🔗 Founder Peer Group Meetup - Discovery Mode: Six Months of Finding What to Build
​Join Kieran White, founder and CEO of Mantle, and Matthew Joehnk, co-founder of 9Zero, for a candid fireside chat on the discovery phase: the six months Kieran spent exploring ideas, testing assumptions and finding the problem worth building around.
​Kieran has been through the full startup journey. He previously founded Curo (YC F24), a fleet EV charging and parking marketplace that raised $6M+ and scaled to 15+ states, serving companies like Google, Uber, Zoox, Zipcar, Cox Enterprises, Boston Properties and Irvine Company. Curo was acquired by Inspiration Mobility Group ($415M raised). Today, he's building Mantle, the pit crew for machines and robots, which installs, fixes and maintains deployed equipment for the companies that build them.
​Whether you're searching for your next idea or pressure-testing your current one, come hear what discovery really looks like from someone who's done it.
