About This Event

An Exclusive Off-the-Record Roundtable for Exited Founders Planning Their Next Big Venture About This Event: Whether your previous venture ended in a successful acquisition or a hard-fought shutdown, starting a company the second time around is a completely different game. You have more wisdom, a stronger network, but also higher opportunity costs and new market dynamics—especially in the rapidly shifting AI landscape. Join an exclusive group of fellow serial founders for a confidential, candid exchange on unlearning old founder habits, identifying massive new opportunities, and leveraging your track record for unfair advantages. What We Will Cover: Unlearning Past Playbooks: Avoiding "last-war" thinking and navigating modern AI-first market dynamics. Idea Validation at Speed: Evaluating 0-to-1 concepts quickly using serial founder leverage. Smarter Capital Allocation: Structuring your next round, choosing the right investors, and setting high-momentum terms. Founder Psychology & Resilience: Managing burnout, energy allocation, and vision reset for Act II. Featured Hosts: Angelina Li: Serial AI Founder (Bootstrap to Series A exit), Investor Advisor, & Startup GTM Mentor.
