Behind the Exit: Lessons on Co-Founders, Cap Tables, and Startup Survival

​In this intimate mentoring session, founder and investor Liron Brish will share hard-won lessons from his startup journey—including how he navigated a messy cap table, a co-founder departure, and ultimately, an acquisition in the Agritech space.

​This is a candid, founder-focused conversation about the real human challenges behind building a startup—conflict, risk profiles, tough pivots, and knowing when to let go. Whether you're building your first company or managing early growth, this session offers raw insights and practical guidance you won’t find in a playbook.
