Join us for Venture Connectors’ June luncheon: The Founder Journey: Scaling, Setbacks, and Successful Exits

We’re excited to welcome Kim Farley, Co-Founder and COO of eBlu Solutions, and Andy Eastes, Co-Founder of SkuVault, for a candid conversation exploring the realities of the startup-to-exit journey. Coming from very different industries and growth paths, both founders built companies that solved complex operational challenges, navigated years of scaling and uncertainty, and ultimately reached successful exits.
What to Expect:
Panelists will share real-world insights into building and scaling a company over time, including navigating early traction, bootstrapping versus raising capital, overcoming industry barriers, building the right partnerships, and making critical decisions throughout the founder journey. The conversation will explore the less visible side of entrepreneurship — the setbacks, pivots, risks, and perseverance required to build a lasting business.
Who Should Attend:
Founders, entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and business leaders interested in learning what it truly takes to grow and scale a company, navigate uncertainty, and build toward long-term success.
