In this class, we'll talk about your current challenges and how to approach them. This is an interactive class and not a lecture; founders will split into teams, share current challenges, and bring the challenges and potential solutions back to the main group, including challenges we face in our personal lives as we try to make big things happen. I'll mostly moderate and give advice where warranted. The goal is for all of us to learn something from each other that advances our startups, catalyze new ideas, and develop new supportive relationships among participating founders. This time there's a fee to encourage attendance and cover expenses.
