FOUNDER DIALOGUES

 

Founder Dialogues is a Cambridge-based public event series featuring successful founders.

Have you ever wondered about the founders behind successful companies?  How did they dream up their businesses?  How did they get enough conviction to bet on success?  What path led them to where they are now?  What challenges did they face?  What advice would they give to future entrepreneurs?

Founder Collective is dedicated to creating a forum for the start-up community to have these and more questions answered. We hope to enhance connections between entrepreneurs, students, venture capital funds, and early-stage startups through the real-life success stories of selected startup founders.
