Tired of hearing you need an MBA, VC money, or the "right connections" to build a startup that matters?

Join Extern's CEO, Matt Wilkerson, for a fireside chat with THE Eric Ries, world-famous author of The Lean Startup. You'll learn how he launched startups, an AI lab, and even a stock exchange - all while challenging the old rules of entrepreneurship. Plus, hear alternative paths to entrepreneurship, why the traditional corporate pipeline is broken, how AI is changing the startup playbook, and what it actually takes to build for the long-term without gatekeepers or million-dollar funding rounds.

Member-only event. Registration details below.
