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 event provides a unique opportunity for founders to connect, share their experiences, and enjoy light appetizers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Third Thursday of each month from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
FREE!

Feed the Founders is designed for entrepreneurs who are building businesses based on novel innovations. Whether you’re developing a cutting-edge software platform, a proprietary algorithm, or a groundbreaking chemical compound, this event is tailored for you. We specifically target those who are in the thick of building something new, as we understand the struggles and isolation that can come with such endeavors.
We welcome all backgrounds, genders, races, ethnicities, and identities, understanding that the entrepreneurial journey is diverse and
multifaceted.
