Founders Live
About
Founders Live is an event organizer operating across multiple international startup hubs. Active since 2025, the organization takes a sector-agnostic approach to supporting early-stage businesses, maintaining an open focus rather than specializing in specific vertical markets.
What they run
The group has produced 13 pitch nights to date, with no upcoming dates scheduled. Programs have taken place in cities such as San Diego, New York, Cairo, and Miraflores. Their recurring programming includes the core Founders Live series, which has completed three editions, alongside Founders Live Lima, which has run twice.
Who attends
The primary audience consists of founders seeking to pitch their companies, along with the investors, mentors, and local ecosystem peers who evaluate them. Because the events are entirely pitch competitions covering any sector, attendees represent a diverse cross-section of industries rather than a single technological niche.
