See what other founders have to say about fnSummit:
“I’ve been involved with a couple other entrepreneur groups before and nothing has truly felt like this one. The connections and learning more than paid for itself. Everyone felt genuine which was a nice feeling. The mix of men and women was also nice to see and everyone was eager to offer support, feedback, and advice. It was far from a ‘boys’ club which I’ve seen all too often. It really feels like a collaborative group and I’m glad to be part of it.” – Joe Deobald, Founder, Full Frame Marketing
“This Summit was EXTREMELY valuable to me and my startup. By far the most worthwhile business event I’ve ever been to. It was great to meet everyone.” – Carla Riggi, Founder, BandDjinni
“fnSummit is the start of deeper relationships, friendships, partnerships” – Rama Veeraragoo, Founder, DocuVision
