The summit splits its curriculum between the Build Stage and the Impact Stage. The former focuses on the immediate mechanics of startup life, featuring Hunter Worland of NEA discussing distribution as a competitive advantage and Fidelity Private Shares’ Kristen Craft analyzing current fundraising shifts. Meanwhile, the Impact Stage shifts to long-term strategy, with Toast’s Steve Fredette and Glasswing Ventures’ Rudina Seseri dissecting the nuances of scaling and product-market fit.
Beyond keynote sessions, the event integrates interactive components like "So You Think You Can Pitch," where founders test their narratives against live investor feedback. Smaller roundtables, led by figures like Chirag Shah of Define Ventures and IFTTT’s Linden Tibbets, offer deep dives into niche challenges ranging from enterprise sales to AI-driven productivity. Attendees can further leverage the Braindate networking platform to curate one-on-one meetings, ensuring that the day’s intellectual output translates into tangible professional connections before the closing reception.
