Founders Coffee Club
Thu, May 28, 2:00 PMBuilding a company is one thing. Figuring out how to grow it is another. We are creating a room where founders think better, together. A curated gathering for founders who are working full-time on their business and already have something in the market. The format is simple: coffee, conversation, and real discussions around what it actually takes to sell, scale, and make better decisions as a founder. No panels. No pitches. No surface-level networking. Instead, expect a relaxed but focused space to share what you’re working on, what’s challenging right now, and what’s actually moving the needle. This is designed for founders who are actively building—not exploring ideas—so conversations stay relevant, practical, and high-signal. Space is limited to keep the room thoughtful and engaging.
