Boston summit brings founders advice on funding, leadership and growth
A Founder Summit on 4 November at Boston's SoWa Power Station brings investors and operators together to share insights on scaling, fundraising, and leadership challenges. Designed to equip founders with practical knowledge on crucial decisions every founder must eventually make, the event offers early-bird ticket prices at their lowest until 16 October, with discounts available for both individual and group purchases.
The summit's agenda is structured around three core topics: capital (how to raise funds and select the right investors), leadership (how founder skills must evolve as companies grow), and broader founder strategies. Speakers include Underscore partner Brian Devaney on fundraising dynamics, Cogent Security CEO Vineet Edupuganti on evaluating investors after raising $11 million, and HubSpot co-founder Brian Halligan (now at Sequoia) on leadership evolution across company stages. Founder and investor passes are discounted by $200 until 16 October, with options for 50% off a second ticket or bundle discounts for groups of four or more.
