About Event

Join us for an inspiring fireside chat with Libi Berenson, founder of Elevex and a seasoned operator with a powerful blend of military discipline, tech leadership, and startup grit. In conversation with Stephanie Melodia, Libi will share lessons from her 20+ year journey—from serving as a Military Officer to scaling fintech unicorn KOHO and building two ventures of her own.

This session will explore what it really takes to lead through uncertainty, build resilient teams, and grow startups with purpose and precision. Expect real talk on fundraising, operations, leadership, and the emotional side of being a founder.

What founders will learn:

• How to scale teams and operations without losing your culture

• Fundraising lessons from a successful seed round

• Leadership insights from military training to Amazon and startups

• Navigating burnout, motherhood, and startup life

• The mindset shifts needed to build with intention and longevity
