The goal of FounderX, happening this coming Tuesday to Thursday, August 2nd - 4th, is to facilitate meaningful connections and learning across the FI Network—as such, the event is designed to be very interactive, with an emphasis on video networking, including several live “lounges” with global startup experts. These include:
- Funders & Founders Lounge - A social lounge where founders can join tables with angels and early-stage investors from across the globe, and give their elevator pitch for feedback
- Mentor Q&A Lounge - A social lounge where founders can join tables with top rated FI Mentors from across the globe, and ask them questions for feedback
