Closed-door Q&A: Exited founders + active Seed/A VCs (private office) artwork

/ About this event

60 people. Approval required. Private office.

A working session for Seed and Series A founders, operators, and investors who can actually help the room.

We’ll start with a candid conversation led by three founders with 5+ acquisitions between them, plus Founder Institute leadership: what actually works when building and distributing companies in large, fragmented industries.

We’ll cover:

- Finding the initial wedge - Landing the first enterprise customers - Who already owns distribution - Founder-led sales - Building repeatable GTM - Using AI, software, payments, and embedded finance to turn a narrow workflow into infrastructure

Then we stop presenting.

After the opening discussion and audience Q&A, the room breaks into small groups. Founders bring a live GTM or growth problem.

The group works it in the room: positioning, distribution, enterprise sales, partnerships, pricing, acquisition, or whatever is actually blocking progress.

The goal is introductions, answers, and next actions. Not another stack of LinkedIn connections.

Last year, one attendee closed a middle-market enterprise deal before the evening was over.

We are prioritizing:

1. Seed and Series A founders actively building 2. Experienced operators 3. Investors who can materially contribute

Come prepared to contribute. Come with a problem worth solving.
