What Makes a Company Hard to Kill?  Building for Resilience

What Makes a Company Hard to Kill? Building for Resilience

Sat, Sep 26, 1:00 AM
From San Francisco Startup Traction & Funding Network
4.5

**Technology stopped being a moat and nobody's written the replacement playbook** What makes a company hard to kill when the technology behind it keeps changing? And how do you know if what you're building will survive the next twelve months? 🔹The old playbook doesn't work anymore. The honest answer is that it depends on what you build. 🔹In every market: hardware, software or other, durability comes from something different. 🔹Most founders are taught a version of the game that was built for someone else. Without enough market cycles to draw from, it is hard to know which old rules still hold or where they break down. **Speakers**: **[Ryan Eppley](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-eppley/)**: CEO of Root Access **[Jeni Chang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/changjeni/)**: Managing Director, Founder Institute; Investor, New Energy Financials **[Linda Hong Cheng](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindahongcheng/)**: Founder of Abstract Atomic **[Aaron Edsinger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-edsinger/)** \- CEO of [Hello Robot](http://www.hello-robot.com/) **[Daniel Theobald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-theobald/)**: Founder, Vecna Robotics; Co-founder, MassRobotics; Founder, Mekable **Agenda**: 6:00 — Welcome! 6:30–7:30 — Panel 7:30–8:00 — Networking with the speakers and the room **About us**: **[Founder Institute San Francisco/Oakland](https://fi.co/san-francisco)** AI rewrote the rules of company building. The playbook has changed. *Skills are no longer the barrier. Direction is*. At [Founder Institute](https://fi.co/san-francisco), we’ve merged our structured programs with AI agents that help founders do the work, not just learn how to do it. **Learn More: [https://fi.co/aifounder](https://fi.co/aifounder)** Interested in our program? **Meet the Team: [Jeni](https://www.linkedin.com/in/changjeni/)** & **[Lucas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucroot/)** \- come say "hi" 🌞 ➡️ **Our upcoming Fall cohort starts soon!** Apply by Oct 18th **[https://fi.co/san-francisco](https://fi.co/san-francisco)** **Additional Resources:** Find more [Startup Events](https://fi.co/events), explore [AI Tools for Startup Ideation and Validation](https://fi.co/ai-startup-ideation) to test what you hear tonight, or take the [Entrepreneur DNA test](https://dna.fi.co/). **Partner & Co-Host:** **[Founder's Guild](https://foundersguild.org/)** A global community of entrepreneurs building companies on their own terms and reshaping startup culture in the process. Rooted in Silicon Valley but open to everyone, we connect founders who recognize that entrepreneurship is both a craft and a responsibility. Improving financial outcomes and quality of life for founders worldwide.

From Noisebridge Hackerspace

Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.
