🔗 Founder Peer Group Meetup - The Founder Journey

Welcome to something new at 9Zero: Peer Groups.

🔗 Peer Groups are role-based groups for members at your level. With online tools and monthly in-person meetups, they help 9Zero members exchange what's working, what isn't, and solve what's next with peers facing the same challenges.

This first group is focused on Founders — a dedicated space to connect with fellow builders navigating the same stage, swap honest lessons, and tackle tough questions together. Whether you're fundraising, hiring, finding product-market fit, or just figuring out what's next, this is your room.

Join us for a fireside chat with Josh Sweere, co-founder of GridIQ™, as he shares his founder journey, the challenges he's faced, and the wins that have shaped his path. The discussion will be moderated by Ian Vensel, GM of 9Zero Seattle.

GridIQ™ is the smart grid’s first line of defense against wildfire. Come hear firsthand what it takes to build in climate tech.

Members get priority access, and we’re opening just a few spots to non-members. Space is intentionally small — this is a room for real conversation.

About 9Zero: We’re a members-only community of founders, investors, scientists, and innovators accelerating climate solutions through meaningful relationships. Apply to join at www.9Zero.com.
