Founder Mode (AZ Tech Week Edition)
Founder Mode is a founder-focused meetup during Phoenix Tech Week, built for people in the thick of building and growing serious startups in Phoenix.
Expect sharp panels and real conversations on AI, fundraising, legal, and the practical decisions that come with scaling something fast. The room will be packed with the people actually building in AZ (seed and series A founders mixed with investors), so it is a great chance to swap notes, meet future collaborators, and have the kinds of conversations that are hard to get over email or Zoom.
This will be held at Empire in Scottsdale, a seriously beautiful space with modern luxury oozing out of the walls and a high-energy feel (and a built in bar!).
Upgraded ticket holders can sit front row and have an open bar next to them, VIP ticket holders can keep the momentum going with a dinner after party later on. There is also an on-site happy hour, so come ready for a day that mixes smart insight, good people, and a little bit of celebration. Let's do this AZ.
