Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with Ben Wiener, General Partner at Jumpspeed Ventures—a founder-focused investor and storyteller.
In his new, best-selling novel, Fever Pitch, Ben draws on everything he’s seen from inside the pitch room and on the startup battlefield, translating it into a gripping fictional journey that feels more real than most startup keynotes. Through the lens of a founder navigating vision, fundraising, ego, failure, and grit, Ben explores the emotional, unfiltered truth of building something from scratch.
This conversation goes beyond strategy—it dives into the psychology of the pitch, the pressure of the raise, and what it really takes to survive the startup grind.
