About the event
65% of startups fail due to co-founder conflict (HBR).
With over a decade of experience as a founder, investor, C-Suite executive, team coach, and growth strategy consultant, Annie is dedicated to supporting teams through challenges. Her opening talk will provide tools to have crucial conversations with your co-founders. We will then open the floor to audience questions with our usual Lab-2-Market office hours format hosted by serial entrepreneurs Phil Green and Paul Hayre.
