Battle-Tested Systems: Leadership and Scale Without Burnout

We’re back—and this time, we're bringing an entirely different kind of operator to the room.

Guest Speaker | Ryan Helm
Data Scientist | Marine Infantry Officer

Ryan brings a perspective most founders and operators will never see.
As a Marine Officer, he led teams under real-world pressure—where failure wasn’t an option. Now, he’s building national defense systems at scale, combining leadership under fire with precision at the highest technical levels.

At this event, Ryan will break down:
- How frontline leadership turns into operational systems that actually work
- Why clarity and urgency beat complexity and perfection
- How founders, technologists, and creatives can operate at a high level—without burning out or breaking things

He’s not giving theory—he’s walking us through what really works when the stakes are high, the timeline is short, and the mission matters.

Come ready:

• Know what you’re building—and what you need next.
• Be prepared to share not just what you do, but why it matters.
• Listen for alignment—real connections happen when you tune in.
• Follow up with intent—one great conversation could be the start of your next move.

We’ll have the snacks, the drinks, and the room full of people moving forward.
You bring your story—and your next step.

We’re on a mission to build MASSIVE businesses and create real-world impact.

Creators are the entrepreneurs, builders, and change-makers scaling ideas into real companies.

Champions are the seasoned operators—the investors, advisors, and leaders driving big outcomes.

This meetup is about moving founders, investors, technologists, and creatives out of their screens and into real-life community here in Washington, DC.

No Zoom. No LinkedIn DMs. Real people, real connections, real community.
