Founders Day | Turning Insights, Access, & Connections into Undeniable Momentum
Last year, 70+ founders gave up a full working day to be in one room. 19 speakers. 20 mentors. Over 100 one-to-one consults. The room was as full at 4pm as it was at 9.
We're doing it again.
What Founders Day is
One day. No pitch decks, no name badges, no "so what do you do."
Founders Day is built around a simple idea: most founders don't need more information. They need twenty minutes with someone who has already solved the thing they're stuck on right now.
So we build the day around access. Mentors who've done it sit down with founders who are doing it, one at a time, all day. Last year that happened over 100 times.
Who it's for
Diverse founders and operators building something real. Pre-revenue to scaling. If you've spent too many meetings being the only person like you in the room, this day was designed for you.
What you'll leave with
One-to-one consults with mentors across legal, finance, grants, marketing, product and fundraising Sessions from operators, not professional speakers A room of founders who'll still be in your phone twelve months from now 2027 lineup
