UGLY TALK: Fort Lauderdale Founders Open Mic and Mixer 🎤

Join us for a unique mixer experience unlike any other! 🤝

Forget rehearsed pitches and highlight reels—this night is all about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Founders will take the stage to share pivotal moments from their journeys, including:

• Deals that fell through ✖️
• Misplaced products 👎
• Investor calls gone wrong 📞
• Lessons learned the hard way 📚

Each story runs for 7 minutes, guaranteed to be vulnerable, occasionally embarrassing, and funnier than you expect. Every insight shared is one that someone has paid the full price for.

As we transition into the mixer portion, the usual networking pretenses fade away, allowing for genuine connections. You'll be catching up with people you genuinely want to know! 🤗

Why Should You Attend?

• Hear the unfiltered truths that founders rarely share in panel settings. 🗣️
• Gain valuable lessons without the hefty tuition fees. 💸
• Experience a relaxed atmosphere where authenticity reigns supreme. 🌟

Who's Getting In This Room?

• Founders actively building and innovating. 🚀
• Operators and startup strategists making impactful moves. 💡
• Local and visiting entrepreneurs eager for honest conversations rather than polished networking. 🏙️
