FormatMeet-Up

Every founder faces the same core challenges: fundraising, scaling,  some even international expansion, pitching and selling, and hiring. The Founders Forum at ITC Vegas brings these to life through a series of rapid-fire “mic drop” fireside chats, each led by either a seasoned founder or an ecosystem expert, from investors and recruiters to go-to-market strategists. In just 10 minutes, they’ll deliver candid insights and actionable lessons, followed by live Q&A with a room full of fellow founders. Expect practical, unfiltered advice you can apply immediately, plus the chance to engage directly with those shaping the insurtech founder journey.

Topics Covered:

  • Fundraising: Navigating today’s investor climate and raising smart money.
  • Scaling & International Expansion: Growing sustainably at home and abroad—when to scale, when (and how) to enter new markets, and how to avoid the biggest pitfalls.
  • Pitching & Selling: Mastering your story to win investors, customers, and partners.
  • Recruitment: Hiring and retaining top talent with insights from recruitment experts.
