Incorruptible: A Fireside Chat with Eric Ries, Author of the Lean Startup
He taught a generation of founders how to build a company that works. Now, he’s showing them how to build a company that lasts.
Join the team at Gildre for an exclusive, deep-dive conversation with Eric Ries, author of the era-defining New York Times bestseller, “The Lean Startup”. Ahead of the release of his new book, “Incorruptible”, Eric will share a new playbook for founders who want to build businesses that are both wildly successful and deeply good.
How do you build a company that lasts a century when the market demands results in a quarter? How do you maintain the soul of your mission while scaling at venture speed?
Whether you're early in your startup journey or building beyond Series B, this is the conversation for founders who want to create something deeper than just a company.
