Office Hours: Your No-nonsense Support System

We're transforming our popular Mentor Roundtables into something even more useful—permanent Office Hours where you can join our experts whenever you need them. We heard you when you said you love the chance at honest, intimate conversations with people that can make a difference to your companies, so this year we're building a dedicated Office Hours zone where founders, experts, and investors will be on hand to give you real advice. 

No more strategic hovering or awkward networking to access people who know what they're talking about. Just drop in whenever your startup crisis hits—whether it's your imploding team, that pitch that makes investors wince, figuring out if your AI idea is just ChatGPT in a trench coat, or dealing with a board that questions your every move. No sign-ups, no gatekeepers—just direct access to people who've survived the startup gauntlet and can help you do the same.
