Founder Mode (During AZ Tech Week)

Get ready to dive into Founder Mode during AZ Tech Week! This in-person event is all about connecting with fellow innovators, sharing ideas, and leveling up your startup game. Whether you’re a seasoned founder or just starting out, this is the perfect spot to network, learn, and get inspired. Don’t miss out on the chance to be part of the vibrant tech community in Arizona!
Founder Mode is a founder-focused meetup during Phoenix Tech Week, built for people in the thick of building and growing serious startups in Phoenix.
Expect sharp panels and real conversations on AI, fundraising, legal, and the practical decisions that come with scaling something fast. The room will be packed with the people actually building in Phoenix (seed and series A founders mixed with investors), so it is a great chance to swap notes, meet future collaborators, and have the kinds of conversations that are hard to get over email or Zoom.

This will be held at The Oasis, a seriously beautiful space with huge glass walls and tons of natural light, giving the whole event an upbeat, high-energy feel.
Upgraded ticket holders can kick things off with a private morning workout before the main event, and VIP ticket holders can keep the momentum going with a dinner after party later on. There is also an on-site happy hour, so come ready for a day that mixes smart insight, good people, and a little bit of celebration. Let's do this Phoenix.
