Many startups now have multiple Founders. Finding the right partner and building a strong relationship can be tricky especially during the startup phase. What is unique about the Founder partnership? What are key elements to building the foundation for new Founders? What are tips to strengthen the Founder partnership?

In this 90 minute interactive session, each Founder partnership will begin the session with sharing their story and then we will have table conversations with each Founder partnership, rotating World Cafe style.

Moderated by Lorie Corcuera and Aileen de la Torre of SPARK Creations & Company, we will hear from Founding Partners at MuseFind, Jennifer Yemu Li Chiang, CEO/Co-Founder and Andry Tanusdjaja, CFO/Co-Founder; at Routific, Marc Kuo, Founder/CEO and Suzanne Ma, Co-Founder/CMO; and at ElevenEleven, Tess Sloane, Co-Founder and Alisha Adams, Co-Founder.
