1-Hour Founder Story Circle & Socializing over Kava Bowls

WHO WE ARE
A friendly circle of idea-rich, action-oriented founders who believe the quickest way to clear thinking is honest conversation in good company. We welcome first-time entrepreneurs, seasoned operators between chapters, and anyone looking for camaraderie as they plot what’s next.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE HOUR
• Icebreaker (first 5 min)
• Partner drill: Last Chapter → Next Chapter (about 30 min) – Share the pivotal moment that brought you here and the horizon you’re aiming for. Your partner mirrors back the hinge moment they heard—encouraging pattern-spotting and surfacing narrative arcs.
• Live Founder Hot-Seat (about 20 min) – One volunteer puts a thorny decision on the table (2 min context). The group fires pure questions or personal reflections (no advice, 3 min); then the founder reflects aloud (3 min).
• 90-Day Vow (final 5 min) – Write one time-boxed commitment, pick an accountability partner if you like, and walk out lighter and locked-in.

WHO SHOULD COME
Founders, operators, and early execs in a liminal chapter—pre-exit, post-burnout, or mid-pivot. Anyone who’d trade another slide deck for structured, honest reflection.

BRING
• A notebook (paper beats screens for this work)
• One decision you’ve been avoiding or wrestling with

SOCIALIZING STARTS AT 7 PM
Feel free to leave or stay and mingle over a Kava bowl at the lounge, a cacao at the coffee bar, or a vegan dinner in the cafeteria.
