Founders Unfiltered Events

Not another room
to work the room.

Gatherings for founders who want fewer introductions, better questions and conversations they can’t have everywhere else.

Hear About the Next Room See the Experience
You won’t be asked to pitch your company before anyone asks how you’re doing.

Leave the elevator pitch at the door.

“You may leave with fewer business cards. You should leave with one honest answer, one useful next step and the feeling that you weren’t the only one carrying it.

Four kinds of room

Designed for participation.
Not performance.

Every format is intentionally small enough for honesty and structured enough to move beyond venting.

01
6–10 founders

The Unfiltered Table

One table. One real issue from each person. No recording, no spectators and no need to arrive with an answer.

02
One consequential decision

Founder Decision Room

A founder brings the crossroads. The room asks better questions before it offers advice, then helps clarify the next move.

03
Signature conversation

The Long Middle

For the years between beginning and becoming: identity, endurance, family, fear, leadership and staying in the game.

04
Small and phone-free

Founder Dinner

No keynote. No panels. A deliberately small dinner with one question on the table for the entire evening.

Inside a gathering

The room has a rhythm.

Trust does not happen because a page calls an event intimate. It comes from deliberate design, clear agreements and questions worth answering.

  1. 01
    Arrive

    No title-first introductions.

    Your name is enough to begin.

  2. 02
    Check in

    “What are you carrying this week?”

    The first question makes clear what kind of room you entered.

  3. 03
    Go beneath

    One real conversation.

    Facilitated questions keep the room honest, balanced and useful.

  4. 04
    Move

    “What will you do next?”

    Vulnerability stays connected to agency and a concrete next step.

What this is not

A different kind of founder event requires different rules.

No pitches

You are not someone else’s pipeline.

No highlight reels

You can bring the unfinished version.

No status games

Funding, revenue and titles do not determine whose voice matters.

No story harvesting

Nothing is recorded or attributed without explicit permission.

What’s shared in the room belongs to the person who shared it. What you learn may leave with you. Who said it does not.

Who belongs in the room

Not just founders in crisis.
Founders in motion.

Whether you are facing your first customer, your hundredth employee, a difficult pivot, a breakthrough or the question of what comes next—the responsibility is real.

You are actively building or have carried founder responsibility.

You value candor without confusing it for cruelty.

You are willing to listen as seriously as you speak.

You want perspective, not applause.

Upcoming rooms

Come into the conversation.

Choose a gathering and reserve your place. Each room is intentionally limited.

The next gathering

We announce a room when the question is ready.

Rather than publish placeholder dates, we shape gatherings around the founders, cities and decisions asking for space. Join the interest list to help determine what comes next.

Join the interest list

Don’t tell us your perfect founder story.

Tell us where you are, what kind of room would help and what question you’re carrying.

Your response is private. It helps us design the room and is never shared with attendees.

Event interest list

Tell us where you want the conversation.

We use these responses to shape formats, locations and questions—not to fill your inbox.

Which rooms interest you? *
Your response stays private. We never sell or share attendee information.

Come with the thing
you haven’t been saying.

Leave with perspective, a next step and fewer reasons to believe you’re the only one.
