I’m a founder, but not based in Boston; can I still join?
Absolutely! The Reimagine Salon is for all founders, so you certainly don’t have to be based in Boston or Massachusetts.
I run a business that isn’t venture-backed; can I still apply?
We welcome all founders who are passionate about building thriving, high performance companies – regardless of funding structure.

Deep/Tough Tech (Impact, Climate, Space, Robotics)
There is a possibility that you might also meet a founder or two from other industries, such as Fintech or SaaS, but it's not the main focus.
Do I need to be a deep tech or life sciences founder?
We welcome all mission-driven founders dedicated to building a thriving high performance company regardless of industry. However, this Reimagine Salon is designed for life sciences and deep tech founders, so they are most likely to benefit from this audience.
