I don’t know what sort of founder you are or what you are looking for. I have been a founder and am currently an exec at an early stage startup. There is close to zero value in talking to other early stage founders most of the time. I never cared about the “startup scene” because it’s complete irrelevant to my company. Can you get me customers or engineers? That’s all I cared about. I am curious what you hope to get out of these convos.

Sparks of inspiration for both individuals that make both of them collectively better! I agree this is a far cry in today's dog eats dog world driven by inflation and protectionism but Silicon Valley actually flourished because of this very spirit of pay it forward which seem to be missing today :(
