Founders Bank Hosts AI+ Connections Pilot Event
Can AI help us build more meaningful connections without losing the human element that makes them valuable?...

The Founders Series launched in the summer of 2023 to bring value to our customers, shareholders, neighbors, and friends.
At its core, the Founders Series is a platform for connections. It’s a dynamic collection of panels, events, discussions, and special initiatives designed to unite local business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community advocates. Each gathering is thoughtfully curated to spark conversations, share insights, and encourage the exchange of experiences that uplift our communities.

The Founders Series was created for those who believe in the power of collaboration and the value of local leadership. Whether you’re a seasoned founder, a new entrepreneur, or an active community member, the Series offers opportunities to engage with peers, learn from innovators, and contribute to a shared vision for regional prosperity and resilience.

From moderated panel discussions with industry experts to interactive networking events and hands-on community initiatives, the Founders Series takes many forms, all designed to inspire participation and foster genuine connection. Each event is tailored to address timely topics and real-world challenges facing local businesses and neighborhoods, ensuring that every voice has the opportunity to be heard.

Founders Bank is committed to building stronger, more vibrant communities. The Founders Series is a direct extension of this mission, serving as a catalyst for positive change by empowering those who shape our local economies and social fabric. By facilitating open dialogue, sharing resources, and championing collaboration, we aim to create lasting impact together.
Join us for the Founders Series and become part of a growing network dedicated to making a difference where it matters most: right here at home.

Our programs include webinars where we provide valuable information on relevant topics, workshops, roundtable discussions with community and business leaders to facilitate dialogue and problem solving, and small and larger networking events where we cross-pollinate our contacts for mutual benefit.
