“I try to get myself in a room full of founders any chance I get,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman. “So, with that in mind, we designed Inc. Founders House with the goal of bringing together innovators and builders from across industries to tell their stories, learn from one another, and, yes, to have a great and productive time.”
Built exclusively for entrepreneurs, Inc.’s Founders House events gather the visionary leaders fueling the future of industry and economic growth through the companies they build, the people they employ, and the communities they impact. Originally debuting in New York, the event has quickly scaled into a coast-to-coast series—drawing influential founders, CEOs, and cultural leaders as speakers.
Inc. is proud to acknowledge its partners for the event, which will bring to life unique experiences for attendees.
Capital One Business is back as the lead partner of Inc. Founders House, where it is hosting a Capital One Business Café featuring coffee drinks and espresso martinis. The excitement extends to the stage with a live Your Next Move founder-to-founder discussion featuring Tracee Ellis Ross, produced by Inc. and Capital One Business.
IHG Hotels & Resorts will welcome the Inc. Founders House to the Regent Santa Monica Beach, an elevated, upper-luxury coastal destination on the famed Ocean Avenue. Here, the IHG Lounge will allow attendees to network and relax in style while enjoying their time at Founders House
