Every founder hits the same walls eventually. The first hire goes sideways, fundraising stalls, or the product people love won't sell. In this session, founders bring one real challenge to the room, and the community answers with advice, introductions, and offers to collaborate. Come with a problem you're working through or with experience you're ready to share. Either way, you'll leave with new people in your corner.

Join one of three small groups:

• People: hiring, cofounders, and building your team
• Growth: customers, sales, and traction
• Capital: fundraising, investors, and runway

Here's a 45-minute flow that fits the movement:

• 5 minutes to frame the session and explain how the stations work.
• 10 minutes for everyone to write their challenges on the station sheets.
• 25 minutes of open circulation. People read the sheets, add sticky notes with their name and how they can help, and find each other to talk.
• 5 minutes to point out a few connections that formed, so people see the synergy happening.

See you there!

Look for future Founders Forum sessions on Product, Operations, and Partnerships, as well as Governance and Founder Wellbeing.
