Founders Cubbon Walk is an intimate, early-morning networking walk designed for startup founders navigating the challenging middle phase of company-building. Hosted by Saturn Studios, a narrative studio for startups, this edition features two experienced founders: Tushar from Vaani Research and Diganth from Incentiv. Both have been part of the Founder's Cubbon Walk community since its early days and have since achieved significant milestones—Vaani Research raised funding and joined Google's AI Accelerator, while Incentiv has been quietly building infrastructure for India's private markets.
The walk is a space for founders to share the unvarnished chapters of their journey—the ones not posted on LinkedIn. It's about the moments when conviction is tested, runway gets shorter, and the path forward is unclear. The conversation will center on real, playbook-less problems: when your product is gold but the market isn't convinced, hiring when every decision feels expensive, turning early customer interest into repeatable growth, fundraising when conviction wobbles, building through setbacks, and how to keep going when there's no obvious right answer.
This is not a lecture or a pitch event; it's a peer-to-peer exchange of lived experiences. The format encourages open, honest dialogue among a small group of founders who understand the messy middle of company-building. After the walk, participants will grab coffee together, continuing the conversation in a relaxed setting.
