SUMMARY:Feed the Founders: Philip Given
DESCRIPTION:At Feed the Founders\, we believe that the entrepreneurial journey can sometimes be a lonely road\, filled with challenges and uncertainties. That’s why we’ve created a monthly gathering for startup company founders in the Lancaster area. This gathering provides a unique opportunity for founders to connect\, share their experiences\, and enjoy light appetizers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Hosted at the Candy Factory in the heart of Lancaster’s thriving startup scene\, each session of Feed the Founders has a different entrepreneur who shares how they earned some unique knowledge to pay it forward. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									Guest Entrepreneur: Philip Given\, Co-Founder\, The Pretzel CompanyPhilip Given is a Co-Founder of The Pretzel Company\, a venture-backed direct-to-consumer e-commerce maker of high-quality soft pretzels. Philip’s journey to becoming a founder of a high-growth startup is particularly unique and highlights how entrepreneurship in nontraditional startup industries can build a foundation for startup success. From wedding photography to restaurants to project managing campaigns and chief-of-staffing for politicians\, Philip has built his skills toolkit by being ready to dive into new projects and keeping his eyes open to advantageous pivots. Join us as we learn how combining skill building with opportunities\, relationships\, and a willingness to take risks can open the door to scalability. 								\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					CO-SPONSORED BY:
