Founder’s Journey 101: Laying the Groundwork

Building a company from the ground up is one of the most challenging and rewarding journeys an entrepreneur can take. In this first session of our new Founder’s Journey 101 series, we dive into the crucial early-stage decisions and tools that lay the foundation for a successful company—from pre-seed to Series A.

This session guides founders through early-stage funding and raising capital. We also cover defining your product, finding product-market fit, and managing investor expectations.

Our expert speakers Joe Carney, Founder and CEO of ZIYNX, and Robert Wolfe, Co-Founder of Zeck, cover:

Building the foundation of your business: finding product-market fit and identifying key milestones for your business
Fundraising: examining funding options and navigating initial outreach
Investor relations: best practices for managing investor relationships and pitching effectively
