Reach New Heights: A Climbing and Leadership Meetup for Tech Entrepreneurs

Scaling a startup is tough. Leading a team through rapid growth is even tougher.

Join us for a unique, hands-on leadership meetup where we combine expert insights from a former COO turned executive coach and a fractional CTO with the challenge of rock climbing. This isn’t another networking event—it’s an opportunity to connect with other startup founders and tech leaders, ask pressing leadership and scaling questions, and push beyond your comfort zone.

We’ll start with a casual coffee meetup where you can bring your biggest CTO, leadership, and scaling challenges. Then, we’ll hit the climbing gym, where you’ll experience firsthand what it means to build trust, take calculated risks, and push through uncertainty—all essential leadership skills.

No climbing experience needed—just a willingness to learn, challenge yourself, and connect with other high-growth startup leaders.

📍 Where: Beans Foster Coffee Shop, Golden, CO
📅 When: Thursday, March 13, 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM
☕ 9:00 – 9:45 AM: Coffee & leadership Q&A
