From Exit to Launch: A Founder's Journey

​Join us for an exclusive mentoring session with Elijah Popowitz, the 21-year-old entrepreneur who turned a college startup into a successful exit. As the co-founder of Offsides, Elijah revolutionized customer acquisition in the competitive fantasy sports market, achieving costs 90% below industry standards before being acquired by SmackTok.

​What really happens during an acquisition? How do you know when to sell? And what drives a founder to immediately build again?

​In this candid fireside chat, our accelerator founder will dive deep with Elijah on the untold stories of his exit journey and explore his new venture, Neptune—an AI-powered proptech solution transforming the rental application process.

​Perfect for early-stage founders seeking insights on building toward acquisition or navigating pivotal growth decisions. Expect practical takeaways, honest reflections, and a rare glimpse into both sides of the acquisition table.
