>> CONNECTED WITH 2TF <<

Second Time Founders (2TF) is founded on the belief that when founders create their second company, they choose to do things differently based on what they learned.

We at 2TF are committed to creating a space for founders to share knowledge, perspectives and resources that create positive changes in their consciousness, community, and the world. To do this, 2TF has developed an annual peer-focused forum to provide founders with the thought frameworks necessary for their success. Request an invitation here: https://lnkd.in/eSQemnH
