2025 CEO Summit

When

September 3 - 5

Where

The Lodge at Bodega Bay

There’s no clear map for the journey of an early-stage founder. Every day can feel like navigating chaos in search of direction.  

Our upcoming CEO Summit is purpose-built to help you make sense  of that chaos. It’s a chance to step back from daily firefighting and gain perspective on your startup’s most pressing challenges, alongside fellow founders who are walking a similar path. 

This is our largest CEO gathering of the year, and we’re bringing together leaders from across Foundation’s 30-year history, from IPO veterans and serial entrepreneurs to our newest pre-seed founders.

Here’s what you can expect:

Advanced leadership development—sharpen your CEO skill set to lead confidently through uncertainty
The latest thinking on go-to-market & scaling teams—so you can scale intentionally
Practical ways to leverage AI—beyond the buzzwords, tested strategies you can use now
Time to connect with peers, CIOs, CTOs, and the broader Foundation Capital community—because nobody builds a company alone

And, of course, you can also count on great food, good fun, and plenty of time to recharge.
