Building the Team That Will Take You to $1BN and Beyond - with Bryan Franklin
Join a curated group of high growth founders for a highly interactive and intimate evening focused on one of the most critical – and challenging – parts of company-building: assembling, evolving, and leading a world-class team.
We’ll be joined by Bryan Franklin, one of Silicon Valley’s top founder coaches. He has coached 3 of the 7 PayPal Mafia founders (including Reid Hoffman) and 11 founders who scaled to $1B+. Bryan has been in the room for co-founder blowups, $1B+ exits, and everything in between.
He’s bringing the real stories and tactical lessons from a coaching career spanning 25 years and dozens of category-defining founders.
What to expect:
Fireside chat + AMA with Bryan Franklin
An intimate setting with high-growth founders operating at similar scale and stage
Battle-tested playbooks on hiring execs, firing gracefully, leveling early stars, navigating leadership transitions, and scaling culture.
