Welcome To The Founders Room 

WHAT THE FOUNDERS ROOM IS?

The Founders Room brings together operators, owners, and builders across the Triangle.

A room built for founders who are doing the work.

The Founders Room exists because building a business can be isolating, especially once you move beyond the idea stage and into real operations, real customers, and real responsibility.

This community is designed to create:

❋ Thoughtful connection, not surface-level networking
❋  Access to peers who understand the weight of running a business
❋ Honest conversation about what’s working and what’s breaking
❋ A consistent place to return as you grow and evolve

This is not a speaker series. This is not a pitch room.


This is a community grounded in trust, proximity, and shared experience. It’s a room designed for founders to connect, reflect, and move forward together.

WHO THE FOUNDERS ROOM IS FOR

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

Brick & Mortar business owners

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

Collaborative Energy

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.
