The Founders’ Breakfast
A curated breakfast for founders to have honest, high-signal conversations about building, scaling, making difficult decisions, and everything that happens in between.
We’re bringing together a small group of around 25 founders for a slower, more intentional morning:
– honest conversations over breakfast
– shared challenges, mistakes, and lessons
– perspectives from founders at different stages of building
– conversations that go beyond pitches, networking, and polished success stories
No panels. No pitches. Just people who build, talking about what it actually takes to build.
Who This Is For
The room will be curated to bring together the right mix of experiences, industries, and perspectives.
– Founders actively building a company
– Founders across stages — from 0 → 1 to scaling
– People open to sharing challenges, not just wins
– Founders looking to learn from the experiences of others
– People who value meaningful conversations over transactional networking
A Conversation with Mr. Hari Balasubramanian
We’ll also be joined by Mr. Hari Balasubramanian entrepreneur, angel investor, mentor, and advisor with nearly four decades of experience building, scaling, investing in, and advising businesses. Having sat on both sides of the founder investor table, he brings a unique perspective on what makes businesses work from business models and unit economics to fundraising, scaling, and disciplined execution. Expect a candid conversation, not a keynote.

About Bangalore Breakfast Club
The Bangalore Breakfast Club is a community of like-minded people who come together over good breakfasts and even better conversations.
It was created with a simple intent to experience Bangalore beyond the usual weekend party circuit and connect with the city and its people in a slower, more meaningful way.
For this edition, we’re bringing that philosophy to a table full of founders.
Come for the breakfast, stay for the conversations.
