Learn From Investors and Founders

What does "good" look like for a startup in 2026? Join us on November 11th as we sit down with Blake Koriath, CFO at High Alpha, to break down the 2026 Startup Benchmarks Report. Now in its 10th year, the report draws on data from hundreds of founders and operators to show how AI is reshaping the way startups build, spend, hire, and raise. We'll dig into the numbers that matter most and what they mean for your plans heading into 2027.

Over Volume 1 of the Thrive Through Connection podcast, we spoke with twelve leaders who have built, scaled, and funded meaningful companies. The conversations covered storytelling, fundraising, leadership, and well-being, but one theme stood out: Relationships are the real multiplier. AI may add speed, but the decisions that shape your company’s future still come from people. Investors who bet early. Teammates who choose to join. Peers who help you navigate the hard parts. We captured the eight biggest themes from the season in a free, downloadable PDF, along with direct quotes from the founders and investors who lived them. If Volume 1 revealed anything, it’s that connection is the foundation of the entire journey. Download the full guide to the right.
