Where Founders Gain Clarity from Operators Who’ve Been There

The Founder’s Chair creates carefully selected events where founders building in insurance and wealth tech receive candid feedback from operators who’ve built, scaled, and exited companies. Some founders secure funding, partnerships, or strategic clients. All founders leave with insights that change how they build.

THE FOUNDER’S CHAIR     chair   
DID YOU KNOW?

Building in insurance and wealth tech requires more than capital—it requires credibility

Traditional financing offers capital but rarely provides strategic guidance from people who understand distribution realities. The Founder’s Chair connects you with operators who’ve navigated the exact challenges you’re facing—and can help you avoid the mistakes they made.
