ABOUT THE SHOW
A vulnerable comedy that will make you laugh out loud, squirm in your seat, and then turn up on your tabletop. Whether you’re from the city or the town.
CO-FOUNDERS is the hilariously inspiring story of two unlikely partners chasing impossible entrepreneurial dreams. Esata, a black woman from Oakland, and Conway, a small-town college dropout, take on the most competitive start-up accelerator in Silicon Valley - where the privileged make a killing while the people across the bridge grind to survive.
