Investors see hundreds of startups a year, and they often spot the warning signs long before founders do. In this candid panel, VCs share the red flags that tell them a company is in trouble, and what founders can do to catch and fix those issues early.

From stalled go-to-market motions and weak retention to burn problems, team dynamics and fundraising missteps, the panel gets into what really separates startups that recover from those that don't. It's especially timely in the AI era, where markets move fast and a strong demo doesn't always mean a durable business.

Who it's for

  • Founders and early-stage teams, from pre-seed to Series B

  • Go-to-market, growth and revenue leaders at startups

  • Operators, angels and anyone who wants an investor's-eye view of startup health

What to expect

  • A candid discussion with venture investors (panelists announced soon)

  • Real warning signs across GTM, product, team and financials, and how to course-correct

  • Audience Q&A and time to meet investors and founders
