Beyond the Runway: What No One Tells Founders About Insolvency

​Building a business can be exciting, rewarding, and all-consuming. It can also be financially difficult, emotionally draining, and, at times, incredibly lonely.

​This founder-led session creates space for a more honest conversation about insolvency, financial distress, and what happens when the runway starts to disappear. Not from the perspective of advisers or commentators, but from people who have lived through it.

​We’ll hear real founder experiences, reflect on what was unexpected, what felt hardest, and what they wish they had known sooner. There will also be space for questions and discussion in a setting designed to feel thoughtful, respectful, and useful.

​This session is for:

• ​founders and business owners under pressure

• ​founders thinking about difficult financial decisions

• ​founders who have already experienced insolvency or severe financial distress

• ​a small number of trusted ecosystem supporters, where appropriate

​Please register your interest and share a little about your background when signing up. Spaces will be kept intentionally limited to support a more open and trusted discussion.
