Take action, reap savings and get ready to join your community of early-inning startup founders for a two-day bootcamp (July 8-9) dedicated to helping you build a firm foundation for entrepreneurial success. We’re talking a day packed with highly interactive presentations, breakout sessions and plenty of time for Q&As with top-tier industry leaders and experts — plus a thrilling day-long pitch competition.

Part one of TC Early Stage 2021, which took place in April, featured folks like entrepreneur and VC Melissa Bradley, who delivered advice on nailing a virtual pitch meeting; Alexa von Tobel lead a discussion on finance for founders; and Fuel Capital’s Leah Solivan revealed 10 things not to do when you start a company.

Here’s just one example of the quality topics and guidance you can expect at TC Early Stage 2021 in July.

Plenty of founders struggle to find, or even define, product-market fit. And let’s face it, without the proper product-market fit, you basically have two chances of raising a unicorn: slim and fat. That’s why you won’t want to miss out on what Superhuman founder, CEO and product-market fit master Rahul Vohra has to say on the subject. Bring your questions and take advantage of his invaluable advice.

Pro Tip: We’re building our July agenda and announcing new speakers every week (like Mike Duboe and Sarah Kunst) — stay tuned!
