Members-Only dinner (no-host) to go a level deeper. Get to know some of the other FounderNexus members and do a deeper dive on issues you're facing.
Where experienced founders go to up their game
I enjoyed how well planned and executed the event was. Court’s presentation was relevant and actionable
I really loved how welcoming the vibe felt from the moment I arrived.
It was awesome
The event was great! Highlight: Encouragement of diverse viewpoints and good founder mix
I think the breakout sessions are a loose but useful way to get people talking about challenges and resolutions.
I was initially hesitant to join yet another group as there is no shortage of people claiming to help entrepreneurs, but Court Lorenzini and FounderNexus are the real deal. Any serious founder will benefit immensely from joining FounderNexus.
Great event, I learned a lot! Looking forward to next one
FounderNexus fills a gap for entrepreneurs by complementing traditional incubator and early investment programs with a high-quality peer founder network.
I also felt a sense of real community for the first time as a founder. You're all onto something special here!
This was a fast track to relevant experience/advice in a room where you hold nothing back.
I have attended events nationwide and joined so-called “MasterMind” groups, but nothing comes close to the network and support I have experienced at FounderNexus.
If you're an experienced venture-scale founder that's passionate about growing your local entrepreneurial community and likes being at the center of things, we'd love to connect. We've got everything you need to get a local chapter started.
