Are you a senior leader thinking about starting a company? Do you have deep industry insight and wonder if it could become a venture-backed business? Are you ready for your next chapter to be something you build, not just something you join? The Leap: From Executive to Founder is an invite-only intimate dinner hosted by Build Momentum and Merrill Lynch for senior executives, operators, and domain experts exploring the move from leadership into company building. You have built teams, carried responsibility, solved hard problems, and seen an industry from the inside. At some point, the question shifts from How do I keep climbing? to What do I actually want to build? This gathering is for people standing at that edge. Life is short. The best ideas do not wait forever. And the move from executive to founder is rarely simple. It asks for conviction, courage, and a willingness to trade certainty for possibility. We’ll gather a small group of experienced leaders, founders, investors, and builders for a candid dinner conversation about what it takes to turn expertise into a company, move from idea to execution, and make the leap from executive to founder. Who this is for: ● Senior executives and operators considering a founder path ● Domain experts with a bold company idea ● Leaders ready to turn hard-earned insight into a company ● Experienced builders looking for their next big chapter ● Investors and partners who support executive-led startups The evening will include: ● An intimate, invite-only dinner ● A highly curated room of serious leaders and builders ● Honest conversation about ambition, risk, reward, and transition ● Practical perspective on moving from idea to company ● Meaningful relationships with people who understand the leap For those ready to make a big move, this is the room for the conversation that comes before the company. Attendance is invite-only. Request an invitation to be considered. Location shared upon approval. This event is hosted by Build Momentum and Merrill Lynch as part of #NYTechWeek, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com
