Carbon13 Webinar – Building & running an effective board for your startup

Your board can be your startup’s most effective weapon or its biggest bottleneck. Join us for a practical session on how to build a board that actually helps you win.

We’ll cover the essentials every founder needs to know: getting your board composition right from pre-seed onwards, running meetings that drive real value (not just reporting), and turning your board into a strategic asset that opens doors and solves problems. You’ll learn how to navigate tough conversations, leverage board expertise between meetings, and avoid the common pitfalls that waste everyone’s time. Join for practical advice from people who’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.
