The Circle of Potential

Nancy Cao (Musefunnel founder) and Vernette Chia run a guided circle conversation with about 25 founders, designed to skip the surface talk and dig into what's actually hard in the early days. You'll hear a quick real-talk segment on financial setup from day one, then spend the core of the evening in structured conversation about founder fears, early decisions, and the stuff you don't post on LinkedIn. The payoff comes after: every attendee gets a personalised Connections Guide with warm intros to the founders you genuinely clicked with, plus optional cofounder-fit introductions if you're actively looking. This works because it's small, intentional, and built on the premise that the best cofounding relationships start with honesty, not business cards.
