SUMMARY:RDSW | How Your Inner Circle Can Make or Break Your Success
DESCRIPTION:Your startup’s success isn’t just about your idea—it’s about the people you surround yourself with. The right co-founders\, advisors\, investors\, and peers can accelerate your growth\, open doors\, and challenge your thinking. But how do you find them? And just as importantly\, how do you know when to cut ties? \nThis interactive panel and discussion will dive deep into: \n\nThe Founder’s Inner Circle – Who should be in it\, and how does it evolve?\nPicking the Right Advisors – Finding advisors who actually move the needle.\nInvestor Fit Beyond Capital – How to secure strategic investors\, not just checks.\nKnowing When to Walk Away – Red flags\, tough calls\, and why the wrong people can kill momentum.\n\nAfter the panel\, we’ll break out into smaller groups for a deeper dive on how to leverage\, activate\, and nurture your circle.
