Breakfast + Q&A w/ Henrik Werdelin (Founder, BarkBox) & Andrew Yeung

You're invited to a curated breakfast hosted by Henrik Werdelin – Founder of BARK (NYSE: BARK), Prehype, and Audos – and Andrew Yeung.

We’re bringing together 30 early-stage founders and builders for an intimate conversation about building beloved companies, finding ideas worth pursuing, and what entrepreneurship looks like in the age of AI.

Every month, we gather a select group from the venture community over breakfast to discuss what they’re building, exchange ideas, and make new friends.

This one is special. Henrik will share lessons from building BARK, creating companies through Prehype, and helping a new generation of entrepreneurs launch businesses with AI.
