FOUNDERS FORUM LUNCH PROGRAM

It’s one thing to start a company and another to build a lasting brand–let alone world-changing innovations. Resilience and agility are key, but not the only answers. We sit down with two seasoned founders and hear how they did it. 
Frederick Smith, Founder and Executive Chairman, FedEx Corporation 
Kirsten Green, Founder and Managing Partner, Forerunner Ventures

It’s one thing to start a company and another to build a lasting brand–let alone world-changing innovations. Resilience and agility are key, but not the only answers. We sit down with two seasoned founders and hear how they did it.

HOW I DID IT

When building a business, founders are told to focus on the basics: profitability, growth, recruiting, fundraising. But what about mental health? Hear from this entrepreneur on identifying red flags, navigating cofounder relationships, and the devastating costs of not reclaiming your mental health. 
Andy Dunn, Co-founder, Bonobos

MENTAL HEALTH = MENTAL WEALTH


Founders will break into small groups to share how they manage through growth, crisis, the current economy, and beyond. These sessions will be under Chatham House Rules.

	BEHIND THE BUZZ OF UTAH TECH 
A growing number of startups and top tech companies are moving to Utah—and the industry contributes $22 billion to the state’s economy. How did Utah rise to become one of the places most likely to launch a unicorn? Get an inside look at what’s drawing more than 8,000 tech companies to the Beehive State and the kinds of innovative products and services being created here. 
	Deborah Liu, President and CEO, Ancestry 
Ben Peterson, Co-founder, BambooHR 
Aaron Skonnard, Co-founder and CEO, Pluralsight 

	UNLOCKING A.I.’S POTENTIAL 
The digital revolution brought with it a deluge of data. Now, maturing technologies like generative A.I. and supercomputing are set to drive big changes on the world stage. We hear from leaders putting these technologies to the test and working to unlock the power of A.I. to break down barriers. 
Jonas Andrulis, Founder and CEO, Aleph Alpha 
Antonio Neri, President and CEO, Hewlett Packard Enterprise 

BANK FALLOUTS AND THE FUTURE OF FINANCING TECH 
The fall of Silicon Valley Bank and the recent rescue of First Republic Bank have not only challenged long-held assumptions about tech financing and capital markets. They have also paved the way for neobanks and other financial institutions to step up to meet the demand for financing and to provide services to thousands of startups. How are portfolio companies, founders, and bankers themselves responding to a new reality? 
	Immad Akhund, Co-founder and CEO, Mercury 
	Erica Brescia, General Partner, Redpoint Ventures 

	SPEED, SCALE, AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH 
The past decade has seen near-unprecedented disruption in business and society, particularly these last few years. What does it take to move fast (and not break things) in today’s environment? Two tech leaders who have grown their businesses to global prominence share how they’ve led their organizations through recent ups and downs, and how they’re looking at the future. 
	Scott Farquhar, Co-founder and Co-CEO, Atlassian 
	Jeff Lawson, Co-founder and CEO, Twilio 

	THE NEW GREEN FRONTIER 
The climate tech market is expected to grow to $417 billion by 2030—the same year the Paris Agreement calls for 45% reduced emissions. As tech companies strive to build more sustainable organizations and investors pour dollars into green tech, we’ll look at what it takes to drive real innovation and deliver real returns. 
	Al Gore, Co-founder and Chairman, Generation Investment Management 	 
	Lila Preston, Partner and Head of Growth Equity Strategy, Generation Investment 
	Management 

	VIEW FROM THE WHITE HOUSE 
The CHIPS and Science Act opened the U.S. government’s coffers to bankroll American innovation and reduce the country’s reliance on China, investing $280 billion toward bolstering everything from climate tech to semiconductors and R&D. We hear from the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology, as she explains the task ahead and the administration’s approach to making the country more resilient and more competitive. 
	Dr. Arati Prabhakar, Director, White House Office of Science and Technology

BREAKFAST ROUNDTABLES I

BREAKFAST ROUNDTABLES II

NETWORKING BREAK

WELCOME TO MIAMI 
Miami is one of a growing number of hot spots for tech investment as the industry moves beyond Silicon Valley. Founders and funders have flocked to the coastal city over the last few years, attracted not just to the climate and lifestyle but also the low-tax policies in the state and the diversity it offers. But how can the city harness this momentum to become a sustainable tech ecosystem? 
	Keith Rabois, General Partner, Founders Fund 
	Francis X. Suarez, Mayor, City of Miami 

	GO WITH THE FLOW 
The WeWork founder’s latest company, Flow, wants to create a sense of community among renters—revitalizing what Neumann and his backers call the “soulless” experience of renting. We hear from the colorful (and controversial) founder on his new big bet and how he’s applying learnings from the past to find a new solution to a decades-old problem: America’s fractured housing market. 
	Adam Neumann, Founder, Flow; Co-Founder and Former CEO, WeWork 

	DEMOCRATIZING FINANCE 
Alongside fintech’s growth through the pandemic came promises that a new wave of technology would push finance to be more inclusive. But now that Silicon Valley Bank has collapsed and a recession is on the horizon, greater risk lies ahead. Is there still hope that emerging tech can build fresh momentum and democratize access to finance? 
Wemimo Abbey, Co-founder and Co-CEO, Esusu 
	Stephanie Cohen, Global Head, Platform Solutions and Member, Management 
	Committee, Goldman Sachs 

MAKING SENSE OF THE METAVERSE 
The metaverse is still in its infancy, with applications and business models still being worked out. Social media giant Meta has made a big bet on the fledgling platform, but what is the strategy and what will it take to reach mass adoption? And how can tech companies navigate regulators and advocacy groups as the technology (and scrutiny of it) grows? 
	Vishal Shah, Vice President, Metaverse, Meta 
	 



	WHY WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH 
Mental health was a long overlooked and even taboo aspect of entrepreneurship. In this candid conversation, we hear from a founder and an investor on the ups and downs of working in the industry, personal struggles, and how those in the tech industry can better support each other. 
Andy Dunn, Co-founder, Bonobos 
Kirsten Green, Founder and Managing Partner, Forerunner Ventures

LUNCH ROUNDTABLES I

LUNCH ROUNDTABLES II

ARE DRONES READY TO DELIVER TO YOUR DOORSTEP? 
Regulation remains a barrier for those eager to see delivery drones buzzing above American cities and towns. Matternet’s CEO talks about getting an industry-first FAA certification and what this first step means for everything from delivering emergency aid to reducing emissions in supply chains. 
			Andreas Raptopoulos, Founder and CEO, Matternet 

	WHAT IS OLD IS NEW: THE RISE OF RESALE 
The U.S. secondhand market is presently growing at a much faster rate than general retail and is expected to double by 2026, reaching $82 billion. Much of this growth has been spurred by Gen Z consumers eager to save money and waste less. At the same time, many companies have struggled to benefit from this boom. We’ll hear from two “recommerce” leaders who say they have found the way to capitalize on a growing (and profitable) consumer trend. 
Thibaud Hug de Larauze, Co-founder and CEO, Back Market 
Samina Virk, Chief Executive Officer, North America, Vestiaire Collective 

	VC OUTLOOK 
Banks collapsing, crypto crashing, and a slowdown in IPOs—we take a look at a year in tumult and hear from thought leaders in venture capital. How are they looking at the year ahead? Where are new opportunities for growth in 2023 and beyond? And what can we learn from the meltdown of Silicon Valley Bank? 
	Ilya Fushman, General Partner, Kleiner Perkins 
	Laela Sturdy, Managing Partner, CapitalG 
	Kareem Zaki, General Partner, Thrive Capital 

	FLY ME TO THE MOON 
From robotics to climate tech, one of the world’s largest companies is still investing in pie-in-the-sky innovations. But so-called moonshots were hit hard by tech’s downturn, and a new mandate for greater efficiency across the industry. Is there still a place for big ideas in big tech? 
	Dr. Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots, X 


	TOWN HALL CONVERSATION: WHERE TO, TECH? 
Since January, more than 150,000 tech workers have been laid off, leading many to question whether the tech industry overhired and undermanaged long-term risk. The deployment of generative A.I. raises ethical risks (and regulatory scrutiny) while the fallout from the Silicon Valley Bank collapse continues. With all this in mind, how can we tune out the noise and harness technology as a driver of positive change in the world? If tech companies have infinite potential to innovate, what role should society have in governing the new technologies they create? And to what extent should tech take responsibility for the negative effects that its industry has had on society? 
	Discussion Leaders:

NETWORKING BREAKFAST WITH FORTUNE EDITORS

LEADERSHIP NEXT: THE GLOBAL VIEW 
After years of military service, Fred Smith founded one of the world’s largest companies, leading its path to success over the decades with a focus on tech and globalization. But more recently: How have evolving relations with China and pandemic supply chain problems changed the landscape for FedEx and other global companies? We hear from one of the business world’s most well-known founders. 
	Fred Smith, Founder and Executive Chairman, FedEx 

AUTONOMOUSLY ON THE ROAD 
While the idea of fully driverless cars and taxi services still seems years away, the future of autonomous trucks on the road seems a lot more plausible. And it could not come at a more critical time, as the trucking industry faces driver shortages, long transit times, and increased demand for freight. We’ll hear from two companies well on the road to proving that trucking has become the fastest route to commercializing and scaling self-driving technology. 
	Shawn Kerrigan, Co-founder and COO, Plus 
Raquel Urtasun, Founder and CEO, Waabi; Professor, University of Toronto 

	FOREVER YOUNG 
Bryan Johnson is spending $2 million a year extending his life span. But living longer is hard work. This entrepreneur takes two dozen supplements a day, plus subjects himself to routine MRIs and constant blood work overseen by a team of dedicated doctors. Hear how he’s making strides to decrease his biological age and why he thinks his herculean efforts are worth it.
