Founders Unfiltered: Meet Bill Kerr

Founders Unfiltered: Bill Kerr, Founder & CEO of Athyna

🌟 Founders Unfiltered is Stone & Chalk's flagship fireside chat series. This long-form, live conversation is designed for founders, by founders. Each month, a featured founder shares insights on decisions, trade-offs, failures, and lessons learned, helping fellow founders progress more effectively.

This month, we are excited to host Bill Kerr, Founder & CEO of Athyna, an AI-powered global talent platform that assists companies in hiring and retaining top talent. Bill also authors the Open Source CEO newsletter, where he shares candid lessons from his journey, and he actively mentors and invests through Startmate.

🔍 Expect no polished narratives or pitches—just an authentic, founder-to-founder dialogue about real decision-making processes, successes, failures, and what he would change.

Format:

• 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM: Arrival, lunch & networking
• 1:30 PM – 2:15 PM: Fireside chat
• 2:15 PM – 2:30 PM: Audience Q&A

This series emphasizes founder voices, featuring curated speakers with genuine experiences from the Stone & Chalk community and alumni network. Come prepared to learn, share insights, and take away unique knowledge you won't find elsewhere.
