Mentor Roundtables: Taboo Topics (back by popular demand!)

There's no such thing as a stupid question—but there are plenty of questions nobody asks, because they're taboo. How do you fire a co-founder? When is it okay to lie to your employees? Can you take orders before you know you can deliver on them? How accurate do forward-looking statements need to be in a pitch deck? We're creating round table conversations for the questions everybody ponders but nobody says out loud.

Mentor Roundtables are a chance for startups to get first hand advice from our expert Mentors. It's a first come, first served, interactive activity that's inspired by your needs as founders! Startups check out the screens on stage to see which table is the most interesting and relevant, then joins that table for advice and insight from our incredible Mentor faculty.
