Coffee & Connect: Entrepreneur Networking
Founders and independent operators sharing candid perspective over unhurried coffee.
Archived theme overview
Coffee & Connect: Entrepreneur Networking was a small-format theme for founders and independent operators who wanted a slower kind of peer conversation. It set aside the pitch and the update-round, and gave time to the parts of a founder's life that rarely make it onto a slide — decisions half-made, seasons of doubt, small pivots that mattered.
