Founders’ Series Events
World-Class Advice for Startup Founders and Entrepreneurs
About the Founders’ Series
These high-impact and high-touch events provide a unique opportunity for startups and technologists to meet with venture capitalists and corporate advisors in a more informal setting. Seating is usually very limited for these sessions, to allow for more interactive dialogue.
Designed to provide startups and entrepreneurs with new insights, tips, and techniques, the sage advice that participants hear could help take a new business to a new level.
This is especially true for a few select startups. In each Founders’ Series event, a small number of startups are given the rare chance to sit in the “hot seat” and ask questions directly to the panelists.
