Get the real story at Founders Unfiltered

The biggest decisions in a startup rarely come with a clear answer.

Founders Unfiltered is Stone & Chalk’s monthly fireside conversation, where experienced founders speak openly about the choices that shaped their business.

They share the difficult calls, competing priorities, mistakes, turning points and lessons that rarely make it into a polished success story.

It is a candid conversation between founders, with time to ask questions and learn from someone who has faced many of the same challenges.

Why attend Founders Unfiltered

Founders Unfiltered gives you an honest look at what building a company involves.

  • Learn from real decisions: Hear how founders handled difficult moments, uncertainty and competing priorities.
  • Ask honest questions: Go beyond the usual talking points and explore what really happened.
  • Apply the lessons: Take practical ideas and new perspectives back to your own business.
  • Meet other founders: Connect with people working through similar challenges.

Founders Unfiltered helps founders learn from each other, without pretending there was a perfect plan.
