Founders' Circle 03

​A trusted space for high-caliber founders to share real challenges and learn from one another.

​No fluff, no pressure, just honest and raw conversations, shared struggles and laughs, and mainly mutual support from peers who get it.

​What to Expect:

​Each month, a small, curated group of founders gathers for a closed-door, peer-to-peer session focused on what matters most: the hard stuff.

​Bring a challenge.
Leave with new insights.

​Whether it's a team issue, a strategic crossroads, or the emotional toll of leading a startup, this is where you can speak openly and receive grounded feedback from fellow founders.

​How It Works:

• ​Offline, Invite-only, founder-led conversations

• ​Confidential, off-the-record environment

• ​One challenge per person, group-driven responses

• ​Rotating themes and occasional guest insights

​You’ll also get to join Founders Dinners and Founders Lounges designed to deepen trust, learnings, and connection over time.

​Why Founders Circles?

​Even the most experienced founders need a space to be real.
Most support systems focus on training, funding or pitching, but few prioritize trust and the transmission of peer to peer knowledge.

​Founders Circles fills that gap.
An independent initiative designed by and for experienced founders, to help each other navigate the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

​Who is it For

​✅ Experienced founders who often remain behind the scenes
✅ Founders looking for authentic connection and experiential insights
✅ Founders who want to give and receive real support
