From Founder to CEO Bootcamp with Startupfest is a focused, high-impact experience designed to help founders become the kind of CEOs their companies need at the next stage of growth. Led by our Founder and General Partner Jonathan Lowenhar and our General Partner Mike Lewis, this program brings Silicon Valley operator insight directly to founders who are ready to level up how they lead, decide, and execute.
Over the course of the bootcamp, founders will work through the core disciplines that define great CEOs. From storytelling and positioning to founder driven sales and hiring, each session is built to be practical, interactive, and immediately applicable. Founders will learn how to clearly communicate their vision, differentiate in competitive markets, close meaningful deals, and build teams that can scale with the business.
By the end of the experience, founders leave with more than just ideas. They walk away with clear frameworks, sharper thinking, and concrete next steps they can implement right away. Whether you are early in your journey or already scaling, this bootcamp is designed to give you the clarity and confidence to operate at a higher level.
