What is the F(o)under Forum Series?

The F(o)under Forum is a dynamic meetup designed to foster meaningful connections between startup founders and capital allocators within the Midwest Founders Community. This unique gathering brings together entrepreneurs and investors for candid conversations, shared insights, and collaborative learning.

Unlike traditional pitch events, the F(o)under Forum creates a space for mutual discovery—where founders gain deeper insights into the investment landscape, and funders better understand the challenges and opportunities facing emerging startups. Through structured discussions, peer learning, and informal networking, participants will explore themes such as capital strategies, market trends, and founder-investor dynamics.

Whether you're an early-stage founder looking to refine your fundraising approach or an investor eager to connect with high-potential startups, the F(o)under Forum offers a trusted environment to engage, learn, and build lasting relationships.
