[Founders Only] The Art of the Scrape: Doing More With Less

​The "growth at all costs" era is over. The new flex isn’t how much you raised; it’s how much you’ve built with how little you had.

​Whether you’re pre-seed and stretching every dollar, or Series A and trying to make your runway last until a better market, the challenge is the same: Everything is a priority, but you only have one move.

​The Session

​We’re getting curated, venture-scale founders in a room to talk about the tactical, unglamorous side of resourcefulness. No generic advice. No "thought leadership." Just a high-bandwidth exchange of what’s actually working right now.

​We’re diving into:

• ​Ruthless Prioritization: How to identify the one metric that actually triggers your next round (and ignoring the rest).

• ​The Lean Stack: The specific AI agents, offshore talent strategies, and automations that are replacing $200k/year hires.

• ​Equity as a Weapon: Closing "out-of-reach" talent when your cash compensation is a joke.

• ​Founder Psychology: How to stay creative when the bank balance is staring you down.

​The Vibe

​FounderNexus was started by Court Lorenzini (Founding CEO of DocuSign) because being a founder is lonely and most networking events suck.

​This is off-the-record. We don't record these, and we don't live-stream them. It’s a safe space to be honest about your burn, your bottlenecks, and your "oh sh*t" moments with people who actually get it.

​The Filter

• ​Venture-scale only: No service providers, no "wantrepreneurs," no one trying to sell you a CRM.

• ​High Signal: We keep these groups small (under 15) so you actually get to talk to everyone.

• ​Practical: You’ll leave with at least three "why didn't I think of that?" tactics you can use on Monday morning.

​Registering: We curate these guest lists to make sure the "founder-market fit" in the room is high. Please sign up through www.foundernexus.com to request to join.
