At the Surge 12 kickoff, founders compared notes and challenged each other’s perspectives. This is just the beginning. Our Surge community connects founders across sectors, stages, and geographies, creating opportunities to learn from one another long after the program ends. While building a company can be a deeply personal journey, it doesn’t have to be a lonely one. And, of course, no founder community is complete without a little friendly competition. The bowling scores may be forgotten, but the bragging rights can always be remembered a bit longer..

We kicked off our company building immersion for Surge 12 in Bangalore last week. The focus was on the early choices that shape the trajectory of a company, with sessions around some of the questions every 0–1 founder has to navigate: - Founder’s DNA  - Finding Product Market Fit and continuing to find it as you grow - GTM in age of AI and its constant evolution - Distribution as a moat - Hiring: the who, the how, the when - Media, press, branding and content  - Resilience & grit - 1% Mindset Thank you to our friends and speakers for your time, and candour. Here’s a glimpse of the energy from the 3 days. Details of sessions coming up soon… @lkeshre @barnwalSanjeev Nandita Sinha @ighose @tarunsmehta @thetanmay @MuddaKaushik @amodm @monagandhi Yugesh Kothari @findingnische @VU2FDC @AnishDasSarma @Sachin_Shah_ @sjs_day1 @RajanAnandan @mobhat @pushpakkedia @nehabarjatya @SimranKodesia @Surajlaungani
