About the Event
Join us for Venture Dock’s 1:1 session series connecting founders and builders with people who have built, invested, operated, and led at a high level.
This is a chance to schedule dedicated time with Ram Kedlaya, Executive Coach, VC Partner, Angel Investor, and Founder & CEO.
Whether you're thinking through fundraising, leadership, product strategy, go-to-market, scaling your team, or navigating a difficult founder decision, these one-on-one conversations are designed to give founders direct access to someone who has spent decades coaching executives, advising startups, investing in early-stage companies, and leading global organizations.
Come prepared with the questions you've been carrying around.
