Founders’ Syndicate Growth Lab – Santa Fe
The Founders’ Syndicate Growth Lab
This is not a networking event. It’s a working room.
The Founders’ Syndicate Growth Lab is a facilitated founder session designed to surface what’s actually happening inside Santa Fe’s innovative and growth-oriented businesses—and move it forward.
We’re convening a curated mix of founders, operators, ecosystem leaders, and resource partners who are actively building the future of Santa Fe’s entrepreneurial economy. Together, this creates a high-trust environment where founders can pressure-test challenges, exchange real insight, and access practical support from people who understand the realities of scaling a business.
Through guided facilitation and intentional peer exchange, participants will:
• Pressure-test real business challenges with experienced founders and ecosystem allies
• Identify clear next steps tied to short-term business needs and long-term growth
• Build trusted relationships that extend beyond the room
What makes this a Growth Lab:
We don’t stop at conversation. Following the session, the New Mexico Startup Alliance will collaborate with the City of Santa Fe Small Business Navigator to help connect participants with relevant local resources, expertise, and support aligned with the needs identified during the workshop.
One month later, we’ll reconvene for a Showcase + Celebration—highlighting founder progress, sharing lessons learned, and turning individual momentum into broader community impact.
This session will take place at The Kitchen Table Santa Fe, hosted in partnership with Andrea Abedi, Owner of The Kitchen Table Santa Fe and The Temptress Private Chef—an inspiring, community-driven space that reflects the collaborative spirit of the Founders' Syndicate.
