The Founder's Chair

?? Before each event at The Founder’s Chair, we ask our #Funders one important question: What qualities and attributes do you look for in a #Founder? Their answers never fail to inspire us and remind us why we do what we do. ?? At The Founder’s Chair, it’s not just about secure funding—it’s about fostering #partnerships that elevate the entire #entrepreneurial journey. To the Founders stepping into the room: remember to bring your resilience, your experience, and your passion—we can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

This afternoon, we're kicking off California's event prep with our first #Founder webinar ? featuring exclusive insights from Real Innovation Life and ASSETLINK!? During this session, our #Founders will get to know one another and hear about Pete, Surf, and Devon's experiences with The Founder's Chair ?? these two groups have gone through our journey and have a ton to share!

James recently synced up with Philly Founders, Alexis and Marvin Vaughn, from Off Course Learning for a session of The Boardroom Podcast ? ?? Marvin struck a chord when he said, “We didn’t just need someone who could provide capital—we needed someone who could guide us.” Outside of potential funding, our #investors bring strategic insights, mentorship, and a vested interest in helping our Founders thrive. That's the TFC difference, and we are happy to see it come to fruition with #Founders like Marvin and Alexis. If you missed the live recording, we've got you covered??? Check it out here: https://bityl.co/Sof9

Rumor has it, a few TFC attendees (both past and future) will be making an appearance at #NAILBA43 ??

Today is Selection Day for TFC Irvine! ?? I’ve been blown away by the quality of #Founders who have applied for our December event in Irvine. The ideas, the drive, and the potential for growth we’re seeing are truly inspiring. Now, it’s time to make some tough choices as we finalize the lineup. ? If you’re ready to take your business to the next level and haven’t applied yet, today is your ~last chance~ to join us at #TFCIrvine! Let’s make some magic happen! ? https://lnkd.in/gE3i5uAQ #FoundersChair #Entrepreneurs #Investment #AngelInvestment

The Countdown is on! ???? We're officially within the one-month window for TFC Irvine! Needless to say, we interviewed some very impressive companies and can't wait to introduce them to our #Funders in California?? We'll be sharing the full list of attendees soon, but in the meantime, check out what else we have in store: ?The In-Person Stuff? Hyatt Regency Irvine will be used for both our lodging and our event space (which we're super excited about). ?The Digital Stuff? The Lounge, powered by Zugi.ai, will be used to provide Funders and Founders with everything they need to feel comfortable going into the main event.

What makes us unique? We're not a pitch competition, accelerator, or incubator. ?? Our process is much more direct and results-driven. When founders connect with our investors, it’s about real conversations and real opportunities. If our investors like what they see and hear, we’re moving quickly—often within 30-60 days. This isn’t about impressing a panel for a trophy; it’s about making genuine progress, securing capital, and growing your business. Ready to move forward? ??

Asking for money doesn't need to be scary ?? and with the right support, it doesn’t have to be. One of our #Founders said it best: “Founders are often on an island and need help. Not to mention, asking other people for money can feel demoralizing. I felt like TFC was my advocate, helping me secure potential investors.” Join us at The Founders Chair and experience a network that’s designed to champion your success. ?? https://lnkd.in/gv6atgxq #InvestmentJourney #TheFoundersChair #StartupSupport #Insurance #Agency #BusinessStrategy

?? We’re incredibly honored to receive this kind of feedback from industry leaders like Paul Tyler, and even more excited about the opportunities that come with it! Paul has connected us with several founders who need #capital to grow their businesses, and it's been a privilege to see their drive and entrepreneurial mindset. As we continue to build meaningful partnerships, we’re asking—who else should know about us? ?? If you know founders who need a supportive network and funding to scale now is the time to spread the word ?? TheFoundersChair.com/Join

?? Imagine having exclusive time with funders who ~actually~ want to invest in your vision. Good news, you've come to the right place! Our #funders offer more than just capital–they provide strategic guidance and connections that accelerate the growth of you and your business. ?? If you’re serious about scaling your business, it’s time to take the next step. Apply today to join us for our third and final event of 2024, located in Irvine, California ??https://lnkd.in/g8aDZXx6 #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #VentureCapital #ApplyNow
