Founders Live is a community and media channel created to inspire, educate and entertain entrepreneurs around the world.

The Founders Live experience includes unique and unforgettable 99-second pitch competitions in a growing number of global cities such as Seattle, Chicago, NYC, Bogotá, Vancouver BC, Jakarta, Buenos Aires, Harare, and Nairobi, which create local founder celebrities and bursts open additional pockets of creativity and entrepreneurial activity.
