What To Expect
-
Every founder is investing in something. The question is whether they can name what they need next — and ask for it clearly. In this interactive lunch experience, Kristi Straw helps founders identify the investment their next move requires: Capital, Capacity, Connection, Visibility, or Structure. Founders leave with a clearer 90-day priority, a specific next yes, and stronger language for the ask.
