SUMMARY:Founder/Fest
DESCRIPTION:Real Founders & Their Stories.\n\nFounder/Fest is the Midwest Founders Community’s signature gathering for startup founders across the region.\n\nDesigned as a relaxed\, social experience\, Founder/Fest brings founders together to connect\, trade stories\, and step out of the day-to-day grind of building a company. It blends meaningful conversation with a party-like atmosphere\, creating space for honest reflections on what it really takes to build\, scale\, and sometimes lose a business.\n\nThere are no formal panels or pitches. Just real conversations\, shared experiences\, food\, drinks\, and time with people who understand the founder journey.\n\nFounder/Fest is where Midwest founders come together to reconnect\, recharge\, and celebrate the work they’re doing—together.\n\nOur Speaker Lineup:\n\nIvan Rahman of Avistar AI\nJorge Reyna of Frilly\nStephen Pounds of Vadar Alpha\nAnu Hoysniemi of AI Adventure\nMany thanks to our sponsors for making Founder/Fest free & open to all founders:\n\nWisconsin Economic Development Corporation\nGodfrey & Kahn\nIdea Fund\nPilot - Pilot provides outsourced finance and operations support for startups\, including bookkeeping\, tax\, CFO\, and COO services.
