Founders' Forum

Founders' Forums have been our bread and butter since the inception of Venture Out, when we were just an underground community of moonlighters who were flying under the noses of our Big Tech employers 👀 . They continue to be a staple of the Venture Out Community and bring together tech employees, founders, mentors, and investors in the broader startup ecosystem. This is a safe place to ask difficult questions no matter how basic they may seem and crowdsource support.

If you have a question for the group, submit it here!

What to Expect

Connect with 50+ other startup founders in your community, sound boarding, and an evening all about serendipity and supporting one another! Food and beverages provided by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). Silicon Valley Bank has been supporting founders for nearly 40 years and has solutions for all stages of the startup journey— from your day one banking partner, through IPO and beyond.
