Pitch and Run ATX: Founder Series
We're a community here to support each other in life, running, fundraising, career moves, etc.
We welcome EVERYONE to join us. If you're in tech: founders, funders, operators, and fans of changing the world!
✨ NEW: The Founder Series
Every other week we put one startup in the spotlight. The featured founder joins our circle, shares what they're building and what they need, and takes your questions. No slides, no pitch theater. Then we run.
✨This week's featured founder: Grady Andersen, building Cairnul — Is how first-time founders run their first round: SAFEs, advisor agreements, and the filings that come after, in one place.
Building something yourself? DM us on IG to be featured.
The Run
4.2 mile run group — Zeke leads!
(Our walk group is no longer in production, but open to new walk leaders auditioning ha)
Ground Rules
Who: ALL paces welcomed!
Intros: Your name, how long you've been doing PitchandRun, and something great that happened this week.
Why: Pitch and Run is about supporting each other, in life and work.
Focus is building a community of people and connections. Rule of thumb: share how you can support 2x before having an ask 1x. It is always better to give than receive.

FOUNDER & COMPANY
Grady Andersen - Caimul
Most first-time founders raise their first $25k to $500k from people who already believe in them, and the ecosystem gives them nothing to do it with. Cairnul closes that gap. Industry-standard SAFEs and advisor agreements signed in-app with a real audit trail, a Workspace that tracks every Investor and Advisor through the round, and a compliance library that tells you which filings you owe and when. Not a broker-dealer, not a law firm.
