Charting the Real Paths of Technical Founders
The founder journey is often portrayed as a clean arc: vision → launch → scale → exit. But the reality of transitioning from builder to leader is far messier, more personal, and less understood.
What It Really Takes to Build
If you're founder-curious, newly on the path, or well into your own journey, hear talks and candid conversations about how the role evolves over time and how it reshapes the people behind the products. From early doubts and false starts to the diverging demands of CEO, CTO, and beyond, we’re digging into what it truly means to become — and remain — a founder.
