Founders You Should Know Sept. 10th Recap
Hear what 11 founders had to say last week on the FYSK stage
📍 Our next show is October 15th in San Francisco. Apply now to secure your seat.
Our SF showcase last week reminded us why we host these events in the first place: the energy was amazing, founders found their future teammates, and we all got a sneak peek at what’s next for 11 breakout startups
We’re often preaching the power of community, and this showcase was proof of it in action.
We featured Ben Rudolph (Peregrine) thanks to longtime member Ayush Kalani, who joined his team earlier this year and quickly flagged it as the kind of breakout company more of our community needed to be part of.
We met Timon Gregg (Strala) through Alfred Wahlforss of Listen Labs — a founder we featured in May — who advocated for Timon’s early team to get the same exposure and support he had experienced. Our venue sponsors, Entrepreneurs First, came into the fold through Timon, since they were among his first investors.
And on stage, we celebrated Aaron TaylorMays with a FYSK hoodie for landing his new role at Owner through our bespoke matching program.
We’re continually impressed by how our community shows up for each other and opens doors to the next great opportunities.
We’re grateful for the generosity and support of our wonderful cohosts at Digital Ocean and Entrepreneurs First. Thank you to Elizabeth Hernandez and her entire team at Digital Ocean for sponsoring our event (and sharing some great DO swag!), and Felicity Davies and her team at Entrepreneurs First for hosting us in their lovely office space.
