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.
Lomit Patel: Lomit Patel is a Silicon Valley growth executive, CMO at TYB, and author of Lean AI (part of Eric Ries’s The Lean Startup series). With 20+ years of experience, he has scaled tech platforms like Tynker (100M+ users), Roku (IPO), and Texture (acquired by Apple).
Cohost: SoMa ProtoLab is a 7,000 sqft four-floor hardware hub in SF offering workspace, flexible event space, global supply chain access, virtual office solutions, and managed corporate mailroom services.
