hot takes on building sh*t
How do founders actually build companies in the AI era: when everything is faster, louder, & more uncertain than ever?
Join us for an unfiltered fireside chat with Andy Dunn, founder of Bonobos, bestselling author, & one of the most candid voices in entrepreneurship.
This won't be a polished success story. It's a real conversation about what it actually takes to build-and survive-while building.
We'll go deep on the parts most people avoid talking about:
Losing your mind while building a company
Mental health & the pressure of being a founder
The hardest moments behind the scenes
The things VCs don't tell you
The things nobody tells you
The unglamorous reality of scaling
And how to actually build-and exit-for hundreds of millions of dollars
Andy has lived through the full arc: building Bonobos into a category-defining brand, selling it to Walmart for $310M, & navigating the personal & professional challenges that come with that journey. Today, he brings a rare level of honesty about what it really means to be a founder.
In this conversation, we'll unpack his biggest lessons, his sharpest hot takes, & how he's thinking about building in this next era.
What You'll Learn:
What building a company really feels like behind the scenes
How to navigate mental health as a founder
The biggest myths about startups & venture
What actually matters when building a company that lasts
Andy's perspective on what's coming next for founders in the AI era
Spots are extremely limited.
