So when none existed, I created my own.
Offline is a network you can lean on, a place for real conversations — Like when the right time to exit a company and what clauses to watch out for while signing big contracts — where your growth takes center stage. A community that bolsters you through your lows and cheers you on from day one.
This is where you’ll want to belong.
The journey of a founder can be a tireless, obsessive and invigorating one. One in which the drive of a mad scientist pushes you to go your own way. And when you find yourself on that road not taken, you look for your tribe.
When I started my first company in 2016, I knew there had to be others out there like me. Founders excited by change and looking for real connections. But I didn't find them at the same old networking events I was endlessly invited to, where the same 10 panellists expounded on the same garden-variety topics to the same 150 people, ad nauseam. Crowded rooms by day, and echo chambers by night.
I wanted to belong to a founder community where innovation-hungry founders were handpicked to be part of something that was experiential and additive.Where thinking out of the box was applauded and founders could express themselves fearlessly.
