Powderkeg Breakthrough Summit: Roundtables & Happy Hour
Breakthroughs Don’t Happen Alone.
Every founder and executive hits a wall.
Sometimes it’s funding. Sometimes it’s hiring.
Sometimes it’s the weight of too many decisions, and not enough clarity.
That’s why we're hosting the Powderkeg Breakthrough Summit on November 12th.
This isn’t a panel or a networking mixer. It’s small, curated rooms of founders and executives who understand that growth happens faster when you’re not doing it solo.
At the Breakthrough Summit, you’ll join a hand-picked group of founders and executives for small, candid roundtables, warm introductions, and real momentum—followed by a relaxed happy hour with everybody, where the conversations keep going.
Whether you’re scaling a $1M company or navigating the complexity of $100M+, this is where clarity, connection, and next steps come together.
“This isn’t just networking. It’s where I’ve made some of the most strategic decisions of my career.”
– Mike Reynolds, CEO at Innovatemap
Format: Fast, Focused, Founder-Led
Here’s how the afternoon flows:
2:00–2:30 PM – Arrival + Informal Intros
Check in, get matched with your table, and connect before sessions begin.
2:30–4:00 PM – Curated Leadership Roundtables
Small peer groups of founders and execs, sorted by stage. No panels. No fluff. Just real conversation about what’s working (and what’s not) across funding, growth, hiring, operations, and more.
4:00–6:00 PM – Happy Hour (Presented by FullStack)
Keep the conversations going in a relaxed, informal setting. Expect meaningful follow-ups, warm introductions, and space to deepen the connections that matter.
“Real growth doesn’t happen solo. Every breakthrough I’ve had came after a conversation in that group.”
– Matt Gordon, CEO at Expected Behavior
