The goal here:
Real lessons from founders who've built & exited, told live & unfiltered, then a room of venture-backed founders & investors to put them to work.

The focus of this panel series is relationship capital & with that leveraging relationships as growth capital,

Why you should be in this room
Lessons you can't get from a podcast: the panel is built around one question founders actually face, how to use relationships as growth capital, answered by people who've done it.

The room after the panel: the conversations keep going over with the founders, operators & investors who came for the same reason.
