Put your next business decision on the agenda
Where should you focus before raising capital? How do you know you’re ready to scale? Which hire would make the biggest difference? The Founder Summit agenda covers fundraising, hiring, product-market fit, and building an AI native company, with practical guidance to inform your next move.
Speakers include Kent Bennett of Bessemer Venture Partners, Lior Div of 7AI, and Vineet Edupuganti of Cogent Security. Come with a decision you’re working through. Consider which assumptions you need to test, where your plans need strengthening, and what you want to do differently when you return to work.
Make room for the conversations that matter
Founder Summit brings together founders across different stages with investors and experienced entrepreneurs. It’s an opportunity to broaden the circle of people you can learn from. Use that time purposefully. Compare challenges with another founder. Ask for a perspective you haven’t considered. Start a conversation you can continue after Boston.
