Founder Speaker SeriesSHT 06 — P02 THE FORGE
The
Forge.
An intimate founder speaker series focused on honest stories, difficult decisions, and practical lessons.
01The format
Honest stories, not keynotes.
The Forge brings founders, operators, and investors to campus for candid conversations — not polished keynotes. What actually worked, what failed, and how they navigated the hardest parts of building a company.
Sessions run throughout the academic year and are open to all students. Come with questions; the Q&A is the point.
01

02
Open Q&A at every session
03
Runs throughout the academic year
04
Open to all students — no application
For speakers
Built something? Tell the hard version.
We invite founders, operators, and investors who’ll talk about the decisions that were actually difficult. If that’s you — or someone you know — we want to hear about it.
