💬 Honest founder conversations
Hear the stories that rarely make it into a pitch deck. The difficult decisions, unexpected setbacks and lessons learned along the way.
🍽️ Dinner with a founder
You’ll be matched to a table with a founder and fellow attendees for conversations over dinner. Ask about their journey, share what’s on your mind, or simply listen and learn.
Dinner is buy-your-own: choose and purchase your meal from the food options at Timbre+. Dinner is not included in the ticket price. Your pre-event light bites and one drink are included.
🤝 Connections beyond the evening
Meet others who are exploring, starting and figuring things out too. Find people you can exchange ideas with, turn to for perspective, and keep in touch with after the event.
You don’t need a business, a polished pitch or all the answers. Come curious, come as you are, and join the conversation. ✨
Who are we?
Hey! We’re WhereWeBegin, the step zero for founders.
Most startup communities are built for people with traction, funding or a polished pitch deck. We’re building for everyone before that.
The curious. The ambitious. The people who know they want to build something, but aren’t sure where to begin.
Through honest stories, shared experiences and useful connections, we’re making those first steps feel a little less lonely.
Here is where founders begin.
