About the Event

This week at Work From the Dock, we’re hosting a special session with BV Jagadeesh-founding investor, entrepreneur, and one of the early backers behind companies like Nutanix, Cohesity, NetScaler, and Yodlee.

A small-room conversation where founders can engage directly, ask questions, and get unfiltered insight from someone who has built, scaled, and funded multiple category-defining companies.

If you're building, thinking about fundraising, or refining your story-this is the room you want to be in.

• Live investor perspective: understand what actually matters at the early stage

🎤 Founder Open Mic

Any founder can jump in to:
• Share what they’re building
• Ask for feedback
• Get unstuck on a specific challenge
• Practice their pitch in a low-pressure environment
