Builder Sessions
    Next session
    Wednesday · September 2

    Demo live.
    Get it straight.

    Live demos, direct feedback from the people who fund and build faith tech.

    Two founders demo what they're building, early product or established, and get direct feedback from investors, founders, and operators. Pick the lane: product, go-to-market, or the raise. Sixty minutes on Zoom, and it costs nothing.

    The problem

    Most founder feedback is useless.

    Your friends say it looks great. Your customers are too polite to tell you why they didn't buy. And the honest feedback that would actually change your roadmap usually arrives a year late, in the form of churn.

    Builder Sessions compresses that. You demo, and a room full of people who have built, funded, and sold companies reacts in the moment. You leave with specific input you can act on this week, from people who have no reason to flatter you.

    The format.

    1. 01

      Apply. Tell us what you're building, where you are, and what kind of feedback you want: product, go-to-market, or fundraising.

    2. 02

      Demo live. Two founders per session. Roughly 15 minutes each to show your product, share your traction, and frame the question you want answered.

    3. 03

      Get it in the moment. Stackhouse LPs, portfolio founders, and invited operators respond on camera. The room weighs in through chat and Q&A.

    4. 04

      Follow the thread. Good sessions turn into intros, customer conversations, and sometimes investor interest. We make the connections easy after the call.

    Feedback from people who've done it.

    The panel changes each session, but it's always drawn from the Stackhouse community: LPs who invest in faith tech companies, founders who've built and sold in this market, and operators running growth, product, and sales inside companies like yours.

    Some of the people watching write checks. All of them have shipped something. You will hear from people who understand the church and nonprofit market specifically, because generic startup advice breaks down fast in this space.

    Pick your lane.

    When you apply, you choose the feedback you want most:

    01Lane

    Product

    Is this solving something people will pay for? What's confusing, what's missing, what should you cut?

    02Lane

    Go-to-market

    Where's the leak? Panelists who've sold into churches and nonprofits react to your funnel, your pricing, and your positioning.

    03Lane

    The raise

    Practicing your pitch on investors before the meetings that count. What lands, what raises flags, and whether the story holds up.

    Every founder also gets a recording of their segment and follow-up intros where there's mutual interest.

    Worth watching even if you never present.

    Attendees see how experienced investors and operators evaluate early companies in real time. If you're building something yourself, it's a preview of the questions you'll face. Bring your questions to the chat; the panel takes them.

    Founders in mission-driven markets.

    Building for churches, nonprofits, and mission-driven markets. You need a working product or a functional prototype you can show on screen. Pre-revenue is fine. Idea-stage with slides is too early, and we'll tell you that kindly and invite you back when there's something to demo.
