Founder Decision House
Build meaningful relationships with founders and investors while gaining practical insights to make better business decisions.
Skip the panels and surface-level networking. Founder Decision House is an interactive event where founders and investors tackle the real decisions that shape startup success, from fundraising and strategic pivots to understanding what drives investment conviction. Join us to exchange perspectives, challenge ideas, enjoy great food and drinks, and leave with practical insights and meaningful new relationships with founders and active investors. Featured Discussions:
Inside the Investment Committee with TiE Boston and Startup Angel Bazaar - Learn how angel investors evaluate startups behind closed doors. Understand what builds conviction, what raises concerns, and ask questions to better prepare for investor conversations.
Investor Perspectives with EOS BioInnovation - Hear how an active life science investor evaluates early-stage companies and why use of funds matters more than most founders realize. Ask questions and gain practical fundraising insights relevant to founders across all industries.
Founder Decisions: The Art of the Pivot - Every founder faces moments that test their conviction. Hear how one founder recognized the need to pivot and what frameworks shaped their decision to change course. Share stories and explore the signals and tradeoffs founders face when navigating strategic change.
Founder Decisions: Navigating a Fundraise - Whether you're raising for the first time or your fifth, join one founder's fundraising journey to exchange perspectives, ask questions, and learn what has and hasn't worked when raising capital.
Founder Decision House is part of Sbur's ongoing founder community, with gatherings held every other Friday throughout the year. Each event features a unique mix of founder-led discussions, investor conversations, collaborative working sessions, and networking designed around the real challenges founders are facing today. Sessions may include: Investor Ask-Me-Anything (AMA), investor pitch coaching, founder pitch competitions, fundraising, product-market fit, go-to-market strategy, team building, founder hot seats, one-on-one sessions with serial entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts., industry spotlights across AI, robotics, manufacturing, and life sciences, founder interviews, and networking over food and drinks. Whether you're looking to make better decisions, expand your network, or accelerate your next milestone, you'll leave with practical insights and meaningful relationships that extend well beyond the event. Capacity is limited to encourage meaningful discussion, so we recommend reserving your seat early.
