Founder Focus: Surviving the Ride and Performing at Your Peak
The Startup Journey can be incredibly rewarding, but it's also one hell of a wild ride 🎢🧠
As a founder, you're constantly having to balance the wins, optimism and excitement with urgent deadlines, big decisions, getting pushed well beyond your comfort zone and inevitable exhaustion that comes with running too hard for too long.
For Founder Focus, we’re super excited to bring together Bonny Morlak, Jevon Le Roux and Veronica Mason to share what they’ve learned along the way - the experiences, lessons and hard-earned insights that can help you handle the pressure, avoid some of the traps and keep performing at your best when the ride gets rough.
Event Format ⏰
5:30 pm - 6:00 pm | Arrival + Mingle
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm | Session
7:30 pm - 8:30 pm | More Mingling
