Founders Feast: The Pirate Edition

Ahoy, matey! Founders – it’s your time to feast. Come for lunch, mingle with like-minded folks, and share some war stories — then settle in for an energetic fireside chat with author and investor Chris Harvey, as he makes the case that founders are basically pirates. Eye patch optional (but encouraged).
Every market looks calm until a black flag shows up on the horizon — and by then, the incumbents are the last to know the rules have changed. This is a sharp, funny take on why founding a company isn’t “entering a market,” it’s declaring war: trading the incumbents’ war chest and brand recognition for your own speed, focus, and hunger. Part manifesto, part pirate lore.
