What’s it really like to build a company?

​Founder Stories, Unfiltered is an intimate, TED-style morning gathering where 3–5 founders take the mic for 5-minute, no-slides talks—just honest stories about the parts of the journey that don’t usually make it into pitch decks.

​Expect real conversations about:

• ​What surprised them most along the way

• ​Challenges they didn’t see coming

• ​Lessons learned the hard way

• ​Mistakes, pivots, and moments of clarity

​No polished presentations. No buzzwords. Just candid stories from people in the trenches.

​The format is short, casual, and conversational—followed by time to connect with fellow founders, builders, operators, and investors over breakfast and coffee.
