Founder Mastermind at ETHDenver

​Paul Graham wrote in What Startups Are Really Like how one of the things that surprises YC founders most is the value of sharing not between those who've "made it" and those who haven't yet, but between those at similar places in their journey:

​​​A surprising number of founders said what surprised them most about starting a startup was the value of community (..) The immense value of the peer group of YC companies, and facing similar obstacles at similar times.

​​​In the previous web2 wave, this is why founders flocked to Silicon Valley: the ability to get advice from peers in the trenches with you, figuring things out together.

​​​But this is crypto, and the closest thing to "Silicon Valley" we have is the global event circuit, packed with events where onstage "experts" share to the "non-experts."

​​​We’re excited to introduce Founder Mastermind — a chance for founders to come together during EthDenver 2025, even if just for a few hours.

​​​You’ll arrive with three prepared questions (current challenges as you develop your product, bring it to market, etc.), and we’ll dive into small group discussions to solve these issues together.

​​​It'll be a special time, and we'd love to see you here.

​​​Please RSVP if you plan on attending — we will be capping attendance at 30 pax!
