How to navigate family, co-founders and employees, dating and mental health while working on a company or projects? Since she dropped out of high school, <a href="http://twitter.com/zeldapoem">Zelda</a> experienced these challenges first-hand and became passionate about supporting her peers along the way.

Our ancestors gathered around a fire to share their wisdom &amp; struggles for millennials. Similarly, Young Hacker/ Founder Circle is a monthly event in which we connect from all sides of the planet to share our challenges, doubts and wins. The problems might not go away, but having a community to face them is a game changer.

It is a safe, confidential and warm space for you to talk about the things you cannot share with your community and listen to people sharing about their own journey.
