Founders and Fractionals, January Meetup

​After an incredible first event during LA Tech Week, we’re bringing Founders & Fractionals back for Round 2.

​This gathering is designed to connect early-stage founders with exceptional senior fractional talent — the kind of operators who’ve built, scaled, and exited, and now work flexibly with high-potential startups.

​📍 Whaler, Venice
📅 Wednesday, January 14
⏰ 5:30–8:00 PM

​Who this is for

​Founders & startup teams

• ​Looking to accelerate traction without hiring full-time too early

• ​Exploring fractional support across product, engineering, growth, ops, finance, legal, people & culture

​Senior fractional operators

• ​Product, engineering, growth, marketing, operations, finance, legal, people & culture and beyond

• ​Interested in high-leverage, early-stage, flexible work

​Why this matters

​Since our first event, Build Momentum has placed 10+ senior fractional leaders into early-stage companies across product, engineering, growth, and operations.

​The pattern is clear:
Most founders don’t need a full-time exec on day one — but they do need experienced people in their corner early.

​This event is about making those connections happen, in a relaxed, human, no-pitchy environment.

​What to expect

• ​High-signal conversations

• ​Founders + operators who actually build

• ​Real opportunities (not just networking for networking’s sake)

• ​Drinks for purchase, good vibes, ocean views, Venice energy 🍸

​If you’re building a company — or looking to plug your expertise into the right one — this is the room you want to be in.
