From Founder to Investor: Evolving Roles in the Innovation Ecosystem
A growing number of successful founders are transitioning into investors, reshaping how capital, experience, and networks flow through the startup ecosystem.

It will examine the advantages and challenges of this transition, and what it means for the next generation of founders raising capital in an increasingly founder-led investment landscape.
