What is Founder Mode?

"Founder Mode" (dubbed by Paul Graham) is made for the true founders and builders who want a great mixture of education, relationship building and entertainment. No non sense, heads down building epic things.

This event is for venture backed founders and investors who are looking to have some fun but also build super meaningful connections in the fast lane.

We will have a few panels on AI, growth at all costs, VC funding landscape and building for the future followed by networking & a VIP dinner after party.

Vik Bhatia Founder @ Scopify

"Kamp is always a great experience. The co-speakers at the last event made for interesting conversation, the crowd was upbeat and curious, and the organization was A+. Phil and the Kamp team really go out of the way to make the speakers and founders feel welcome and appreciated. Thanks for all that you do for the startup/investor community.”

Phil does an exceptional job of curating high-caliber panelists and fostering an intimate environment full of learning and networking opportunities for founders. I always look forward to attending Kamp's events and highly recommend them to anyone in the startup world."
