LOS ANGELES, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Know anyone who would want to lead Founders Live LA in 2022? Please share this with them today.
Join Us as we hold a discussion for Founders Live and the future of Founders Live LA.
Corey is passing on the Founders Live leadership torch!
Founders Live has grown from ONE city in 2017 to now 85 cities globally ranging from Moscow, Russia to Jakarta in Indonesia to Buenos Aires in Latin America, and we're about to launch another 30+ cities next year. It's been an incredible few years and we're just getting started reaching the vast corners of the world.
Exciting yes, but one thing worries us. LA was one of our earliest cities to launch in 2017, and was working to get back on a consistent schedule, but recently Corey has decided to step aside and make room for a new LA leadership team to pick up the torch and run with it.
We are now on the lookout for a city leader to pick up the leadership role and run Founders Live Los Angeles going forward. This person will join a special group of leaders from around the world who are driving Founders Live and who have a front row seat on this crazy amazing and inspiring entrepreneurial ride. We are asking you as a community to help spread the word and help surface a person (or a small team) to step up for Founders Live. If not, unfortunately, we'll have to move on from our focus and efforts and leave LA behind which would be quite disappointing.
More Information
Here's a recent post detailing what we're looking for
We have much more information about ins-and-outs of the opportunity, the benefits, the time commitments, and more details we can share with anyone interested. Are you the one? Or please feel free to send this to anyone you think might be a good fit. You can also intro them at nick @ founderslive.com.
Thanks so much and let's work together to get a monthly Founders Live event back up and running in LA (IN-PERSON!) so I have an excuse to come through and see you all again!
