Founders Bay Virtual Workshop: Dos and Don'ts for Founding Teams
Starting and scaling a company is one of the most exciting — and challenging — journeys a founder can take. Along the way, the choices made in the early stages of building a team, structuring agreements, and defining roles can have lasting impacts on success. This workshop is designed to help founding teams avoid common pitfalls while learning practical strategies for long-term growth.
Led by Aleks Gollu, Founder & CEO of 11Sight, the session will cover the realities of co-founder dynamics, equity decisions, and operational structures. Through real-world examples, Aleks will share mistakes that can derail momentum and the best practices that create a strong foundation for your company.
Whether you’re just getting started or already working with a co-founder, this workshop will give you clarity and confidence. The focus is not only on what to avoid, but also on what to prioritize as you grow your team and vision.
Expect candid insights, interactive Q&A, and actionable advice that you can apply right away. Founders will leave with a clearer path forward and the tools to navigate both the business and human sides of entrepreneurship.
