About Event

Founders Unfiltered: Bill Kerr, Founder & CEO of Athyna

Founders Unfiltered is Stone & Chalk's flagship fireside chat series. This is a long-form, live conversation for founders, by founders. Each month, one founder pulls back the curtain on the decisions, trade-offs, failures, and what they'd do differently, so the founders in the room can go further, faster.

This month, we sit down with Bill Kerr, Founder & CEO of Athyna, the AI-powered global talent platform helping companies hire and retain world-class talent. Bill also writes Open Source CEO, a newsletter sharing unfiltered lessons from the founder journey, and mentors and invests through Startmate.

No polished narrative. No pitch. Just an honest, founder-to-founder conversation about how decisions were really made, what worked, what didn't, and what he'd change.

Format:
1.00pm – 1.30pm: Arrival, lunch & networking
1.30pm – 2.15pm: Fireside chat
2.15pm – 2.30pm: Audience Q&A

This series prioritises founder voices only, curated speakers with real, lived experience from the Stone & Chalk community and alumni network. Come ready to learn, compare notes, and leave with something you couldn't get anywhere else.
