Lessons from Founders Building Again
About this Event

Second-time founders, first-hand lessons. Learn what three exited founders are doing differently second time round and apply those lessons to your own startup.

Join three founders who have successfully built and exited companies—and are now doing it all over again. In this candid session, they’ll share the hard-earned lessons from their first ventures: what worked, what didn’t, and what they’ve deliberately changed the second time around.

From early decisions to scaling challenges, you’ll hear what they’re doing differently this time round. A must-attend for first-time founders looking to learn from those who’ve been in your shoes - and avoid the mistakes they’ve already made.

Panel

  • Tanya Larsen (CEO, Co-Founder questionZERO)
