Founders Lounge Global - Powered by MultiPass Ventures

Join us for a special event during STL Startup Week (not an official Startup Week event) as we bring together three visionary leaders shaping the future of St. Louis. Our "Building in STL" panel will feature engaging conversations with Christian Johnson, Gabe Lozano, and Brandon Williams, each of whom has made a significant impact on the city’s entrepreneurial and community landscape.

Meet the Panelists:

• Christian Johnson – Managing Partner of MultiPass Ventures, Founder of Founders Lounge, Metis Analytics, and an Agentic AI Company. Christian has been at the forefront of innovation, launching impactful initiatives and empowering entrepreneurs across the region.
• Gabe Lozano – CEO of LaunchCode, a St. Louis-founded organization dedicated to re-skilling individuals into high-paying tech careers. As a recognized leader in the tech industry, Gabe has successfully scaled high-growth companies, co-founded LockerDome (now Decide), and led GlobalHack’s social impact efforts.
• Brandon Williams – CEO and President of Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis, with over 15 years of expertise in sports, media, and community engagement. A former NFL player and 2023 "40 Under 40" honoree by the STL Business Journal, Brandon’s leadership has driven major economic and community initiatives in St. Louis.

Gain insights from leaders who have built and continue to drive impactful initiatives in St. Louis. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear their perspectives, learn from their journeys, and connect with the community of innovators.

Networking begins at 5:30pm and the Panel Discussion begins at 6:30pm.
