​Founders Day

​The founder journey is lonely and chaotic. You hear more “no” than “yes.” Every no gets you closer to a yes. Building a world-class company is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do.

​We’re bringing founders together to talk about what actually happens — the wins, the near-death moments, the mistakes that almost killed the company.

​No VCs. No consultants. No BS. Just founders and startups.

​Venue: @ Shibuya QWS  (Startup Ticket Holder Only)
