**What this is?**

A fast, high-signal “show & tell” for founders and soon-to-be founders. No fluff. Each presenter shares a short, candid story of their Founder’s Journey—what they’re building, what problem they’re actually solving, how they validated demand, early results, and what’s hard right now—followed by quick Q&A.

**Who this is for?**

* Founders, indie hackers, technical builders, and operators
* People actively building—or preparing to build—their first version
* Observers welcome if you’re here to learn and contribute

**Format and timing**

* 90 minutes total
* 4–5 minutes per founder + 3 minutes Q&A
* 6–8 founders selected to present; everyone else participates in Q&A
* Recording is off by default to keep it candid
