Perhaps you wonder: What actually happens at an estuary event? Glad you asked! An estuary event is a two-hour conversation, but not just any conversation. We especially welcome people from different ideological backgrounds, different religions, different political persuasions, different perspectives on current events, in other words, we appreciate intellectual diversity, and we really like intellectual honesty and free expression. Our goal is to listen and learn, and perhaps even learn to love. We use a protocol that encourages mutual respect and openness to new ideas. There is no pre-determined agenda. Nobody comes with a prepared lesson. In a rather unique democratic fashion, each participant puts a topic on the table, and then we decide together which topic(s) lend themselves best to having an interesting and productive conversation during that session. Therefore, each session is different, because each session begins with new topics, as shared by whoever is present for that session. So if you were to join us for any given event, you would be able to put your favorite topic on the table, alongside the topics of every other participant, and then we would decide together which topic seems most interesting to proceed with. It could be yours! Of course, no-one should feel pressured to contribute. You can always pass, and just observe what happens. We like to deal with what we call the big questions of life, like morality, justice, or any other difficult question in the news today, but, to be clear, no topic is off limits, whether it is about religion, or personal relationships, or how to make friends. In the past we have delved into topics like abortion, mental health, homelessness, and even psychedelic mushrooms! On rare occasions even God makes an appearance (as a topic)! Join us on the last saturday of every month.

Date: Tuesday 16th June, 6:15-9 PM UK Time Location: [1 Warwick by Maslow’s](https://share.google/MnxwD6w1PqaJ512K6) [Sign up for this event here!](https://founders500.com/session/startup-session-15-the-people-problems-no-founder-sees-coming/) Please note that clicking attend on Meetup will not give you the correct QR code to enter this event.

Building and scaling a startup is hard, but turning it into an organisation is where things really start to break. At around 15 to 30 people, what once felt easy suddenly becomes more complex. Communication slows down, expectations become unclear, performance becomes inconsistent, and founders often find themselves stuck in the middle of everything. Many assume it’s a hiring issue, but in reality it runs deeper. In this interactive session, we’ll unpack the people challenges founders don’t see coming as they scale, brought to life through real stories, honest reflections, and practical insight from working inside growing organisations. Through a conversational, interview-style format, we’ll explore five of the most common areas where founders underinvest early, and the impact this has as their companies grow. This isn’t a lecture. It’s an opportunity to step back, reflect on your own business, learn from others in the room, and leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately, whether you are just starting to build a team or already navigating the pressures of growth. ## About the Speakers: **Katherine Ray** Katherine works with founders and senior leaders to identify what actually needs to change in their leadership and people approach before it becomes costly as they scale. With over 20 years’ experience across early-stage, scaling businesses and large global organisations, she brings a broad and grounded perspective on how people and leadership challenges show up at different stages of growth. As an executive leadership coach, Katherine focuses on helping leaders build the clarity, capability, and confidence needed to lead effectively as their organisations evolve, while enabling teams to perform during periods of growth, change, and increasing complexity. **Kuldish Sibia** Kuldish is a fractional People leader and founder of Scaling People Solutions, with over 20 years of experience across global organisations, scale-ups, and high-growth environments. He specialises in helping businesses put the right people foundations in place before growth exposes the cracks. From performance challenges to complex people issues, Kuldish brings a practical, no-nonsense perspective on what happens when early decisions start to catch up, and what it takes to fix them. ## What to Expect on the Night: Doors open at 6:15 PM with a welcome drink and networking. Starting at 6:45 PM, this 75-minute interactive session including Q&A will include: **Real Stories and Insights (Interview Format)** We’ll explore five key people challenges founders face as they scale, including: * Creating clarity on roles and expectations * Investing in people management including performance, feedback, and accountability * Workforce planning, who you hire, when, and why * How leadership needs to evolve as your company grows * Building foundations before tools Each theme will be brought to life through real examples and honest reflections from working with scaling businesses. **Founder-to-Founder Discussion** You’ll have the opportunity to reflect on one of the five key challenges that resonates most with you or is most relevant to your business right now. Through guided prompts, you’ll explore: * What’s currently feeling difficult in your organisation * How this challenge is showing up as you scale * What you might need to do differently **Q&A** A chance to ask questions and explore specific challenges you’re facing. **Community and Connection** From 8:00 PM, connect with fellow founders, operators, and builders in a relaxed setting designed for meaningful conversation. You’ll also have the opportunity to speak with Katherine and Kuldish one-to-one about any specific people or organisational challenges you’re currently navigating. Doors close at 9:00 PM. ## Who Should Attend: * Founders and co-founders building and scaling a team * Leaders in growing companies where things are starting to feel more complex than they should * Anyone hiring, managing people, and noticing that what worked early on is no longer working This session is particularly relevant for companies moving beyond the early stage, around 10 to 50 plus people, where people challenges become more visible and more impactful.

There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
