The Founders’ Forum: Unfiltered Conversation
Santa Monica
·
Blake Executive Advisory, Datasent, Women in AI Club
Welcome to the conversation where nothing is off limits. In this intimate, founder-led session, we’re cutting through the noise to talk about what actually moves the needle in early-stage startups— from keeping culture strong as you scale fast and building go-to-market traction, to making your first key leadership hires (and fixing the ones you rushed) to structuring your cap table for long-term success.
Part salon, part tactical download, and all real talk — this is a space for honest conversations about the hard parts of company-building. Led by a veteran executive coach who works with Silicon Valley’s most driven founders, this session invites you to drop the armor and learn from each other.
Expect: raw insight, actionable takeaways, and connection with others who are building what’s next.

Pre•Founder Matcha Break
A casual gathering for the pre•founder stage: people who know they’ll start something in the next few months (or years!). No speakers, no pitches, no pressure. Just matcha, light bites, and conversations with others who are also on the path to building.
Think of it as a pause from the hustle of Tech Week, a cozy corner to recharge, swap ideas, and meet tomorrow’s founders today. Come curious, leave caffeinated (and maybe a little more inspired) 🍵
