About this Event

Philadelphia Founders Sessions:

Join TiE Philadelphia and Ben Franklin Technology Partners for the second installment of Philadelphia Founders Sessions — a series of intimate conversations with the entrepreneurs building Philadelphia's next generation of companies.

Our first session in August was a fantastic success: good questions, candid conversation, and plenty of takeaways for founders and aspiring entrepreneurs alike. We're excited to keep the series going.

Each session brings together local founders for a candid discussion about their journeys: the decisions that shaped their companies, the challenges they've faced along the way, and the lessons they've learned building a business from the ground up. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, an active founder, or simply curious about what it takes to build something from scratch, this is a chance to hear those stories directly from the people who lived them.
