Office Hours - Free 1:1s with our team
⚠️ RSVPing to this event won't book a slot. Use the individual booking links below.
Our team runs open office hours every week, and they're especially useful if you're at pre-seed or seed stages.
Most of us have built or founded companies before joining Seapoint, so we're speaking as founders and operators. Whether you're working through fundraising, product, GTM, engineering, design, hiring, building an AI-native company, or just trying to get your finances in order before things get complicated, you'll be talking to someone who's dealt with it first-hand.
Have a look at the team below and book whoever feels like the best fit. It helps to come with 1–3 specific things you want to cover - the more focused, the more you'll get out of the session.
