Founder Jams: Where Ideas Become Action
Developed in partnership with StealthX, Founder Jams are full-day, immersive experiences where entrepreneurs work side-by-side with experts and peers to solve real startup challenges. From building new products to driving customer growth, these intensive workshops are designed to spark breakthroughs and accelerate your progress.
Product Jam
Product Jam brings together founders, designers, and product leaders to move from concept to prototype — fast. Teams form around ideas, dive into customer problems, brainstorm solutions, and develop a testable prototype. By day’s end, you’ll pitch your concept to mentors and peers for feedback and next steps.
- Build something tangible in a day.
- Collaborate with cross-functional talent.
- Get actionable feedback from product experts
Growth Jam
Growth Jam follows the same high-energy format as Product Jam but shifts the focus to customer acquisition. Founders work alongside growth marketers, sales leaders, and customer success experts to design, test, and validate strategies that move the needle.
- Explore proven tactics for acquiring and retaining customers.
- Test ideas with immediate feedback from peers and mentors.
- Leave with a clearer growth strategy you can implement tomorrow.
Ops Jam (Coming Soon)
Every great company needs strong foundations. Ops Jam is a one-day intensive focused on building the systems, processes, and operational strategies that allow startups to scale. From finance to HR to workflows, founders will leave with practical tools to make their companies run smoother.
Why Founder Jams?
Because sometimes the best way to learn is to do. Founder Jams bring Charlotte’s entrepreneurial community together — founders, mentors, and industry experts — in a fast-paced format that produces real progress in just one day.
“[Product Jam] was truly an intense value-add, and you can definitely not say that about much when it comes to startup-related programming.”
Will Hedrick - Founder/CEO, myCharity

Bart Cant - Founder, RethinkAI
“Product Jam wasn’t just another founder workshop—it was a real-time experiment in emergence, adaptation, and co-creation. The moment we stopped chasing the ‘right’ answer, the right questions found us.”
