Since 2017, we have hosted weekly open office hours sessions with 1,000+ founders to answer questions about fundraising, business operations, VC market conditions, and more. These 1x1 meetings have allowed us to provide candid, situation-specific feedback, without requiring a personal connection or introduction.
While every founder’s situation is different, we’ve found many similarities in their questions and concerns. To make these sessions richer and more accessible, we are adapting the format to a group office hours series: No Filter.
Twice a month, we will host virtual sessions with small groups of founders, focused on specific topics. After we set the stage with some context, founders can ask questions about their challenges, swap insights with each other, and consult guest experts. We plan to cover navigating VC market conditions, building teams on shoestring budgets, price testing, creating a capital strategy, finding product-market fit, and more.
We hope that this format will allow us to maintain the curation of our 1x1 sessions while simultaneously expanding the resource pool for founders.
You can apply to join the first session on September 14th (12pm ET) on VC market conditions here. We look forward to meeting you!
