Get a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to go from an idea to a funded company—and what the road toward an exit can actually look like. This Jax Tech event brings together founders and leaders to share the real story behind funding rounds, growth decisions, and the curveballs that shape a company’s trajectory. Featured speakers include Justin Dennis (Co-Founder & COO, UrbanSDK), sharing UrbanSDK’s funding arc from seed to TechStars to a major investor round, and Craig Mandeville (Founder & Board Member, Forcura), walking through Forcura’s growth path from early funding to major expansion, a large PE round, and a merger. Additional speakers are listed as TBD, including topics on the current state of seed funding and today’s exit pathways. After the talks and Q&A, the night continues with a rooftop afterparty featuring DJ Castronaut, plus food and conversation in a social, community-driven atmosphere.
