Adam Shaw
Adam built on Jeff’s belief that relationships move venture. He leads the vision, the rooms, and the partnerships behind the engine, from New York to every city F&F calls home.
Jeff started it. Adam came on to scale it.
Adam joined Founders & Funders to help take Jeff’s belief and turn it into an engine: more rooms, more cities, more reach, without losing what made the first room work.
From New York to every city F&F calls home
Adam leads the vision, the rooms, and the partnerships that took F&F from one city to a national relationship engine, backed by a media arm, a platform, and a fund.
Setting the direction for F&F Events, Media, Connect, and Ventures as one engine.
Turning one room into 12+ cities and a growing partner and VC network.
Building the partnerships that bring F&F to new cities.
We exist to support founders on their journey by building real relationships, not transactions.
Adam believes F&F is the relationship engine for venture: the rooms, the capital, and the platform behind every conversation that moves the venture ecosystem forward.
