Founders Project

To celebrate Inc.’s 40th birthday, we launched a mentorship series pairing some of the country’s best-known entrepreneurs with rising founders in need of a little guidance. We then documented their conversations, which took place in offices, studios, restaurants and virtual chat rooms across the country. From mid-2019 on, I produced and/or reported on pairings that included mentors such as Daymond John, Rebecca Minkoff, Daniel Lubetsky and Tilman Fertitta.
