Founder's Fireside: Inner Circle

​​​Founders Fireside: Inner Circle is an exclusive peer-to-peer mastermind for members of The Dune community. Held every Friday at The Dune from 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM, this intimate gathering is designed for just 10 founders/business owners to share openly, exchange insights, and explore solutions together.

​​​Unlike typical speaker-led events, this format focuses on collective intelligence — everyone brings their experience to the table. Together, we co-create conversations that help us scale with clarity, strategy, and a sense of camaraderie.

​Our Founders Fireside topics have been pretty serious lately, so we’ve decided to lighten the mood for this session.

​Topic: Beta-Testing Love

​Dating while building a business can feel like another startup—messy, exciting, and full of pivots. In this fireside, we’ll laugh (and maybe cringe) about the realities of finding love as founders, swap stories on balancing busy schedules with romance, and explore how to “test, learn, and iterate” toward healthier relationships—without burning out your bandwidth.

​Who knows—you might even meet your match at this session!
