As a founder, you’re constantly juggling fundraising, hiring, and finding (and keeping!) customers.

Each of these topics could take up your entire week… but you don’t always have a trusted place to get answers.

That’s why on October 14th from 11am-2pm PT, we’re hosting Breakouts, an office hours–style event designed for early stage founders and investors. At Breakouts, you'll join small groups for tactical, intimate discussions on topics like fundraising, GTM strategies, compliance, growth, and more.

Each group will be led by a subject matter expert — typically an investor, founder, or expert operator. No strategic hovering. No awkward networking for five minutes of valuable feedback. You'll get direct access to experts and connect with other founders who are going through the same things as you. Skip the generic advice and get help with the challenges you’re wrestling with right now.

How it Works:

- Sessions will be 30 minutes each.
- When you arrive, you’ll be matched with a session that best fits your preferences listed when registering. - Fundraising sessions take place from 11am–12pm.
- All other sessions (hiring and customer-focused topics) take place from 12–2pm.
