Founder Office Hours with Sheffie Robinson

Founder Office Hours is an open and interactive session designed to support early-stage and growth-focused entrepreneurs who are navigating the complex world of startup development. This event offers a unique opportunity for founders to engage directly with experienced mentors, investors, and ecosystem leaders in a one-on-one or small group setting. Whether you're at the idea stage, preparing for launch, or actively scaling, these office hours are designed to meet you where you are.

Participants will receive tailored feedback on a wide range of topics, including:

• Business model development
• Product-market fit
• Go-to-market strategy
• Fundraising and investor relations
• Team building and talent development
• Operations, legal considerations, and technology enablement

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where founders can ask questions they may not have the chance to ask elsewhere, honestly, candidly, and with the benefit of expert guidance. In addition to individual support, attendees will also have the chance to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, share resources, and build relationships that extend beyond the session.

This is not a pitch competition or a lecture. Founder Office Hours is about real conversations, problem-solving, and actionable next steps. Whether you're looking for validation, strategic direction, or simply a sounding board, this event is your space to be heard and supported.

Who should attend:

• Startup founders and co-founders
• Solo entrepreneurs and side hustlers
• Aspiring innovators preparing to launch
• Nonprofit founders and mission-driven leaders
• Students and recent graduates exploring entrepreneurship

What to bring:

• Your questions and pain points
• A short overview of your venture or idea
• An open mind and willingness to receive feedback

Let’s build better businesses together.
