BARNRAISER STARTUP WEEKEND
WE HELP VALUE-ALLIGNED BUSINESSES LAUNCH THEIR IDEAS
ABOUT
Barnraiser Startup Weekend is an intensive program for startup founders and teams who want to launch new Parallel Economy businesses.
Fixing the country will require values-aligned companies that support faith, family, and American values, but most programs for new businesses are left-leaning and hostile to our values.
Barnraiser Weekend brings conservative startup founders and teams together to build values-aligned businesses with the help of conservative mentors and investors who believe in the Parallel Economy.
Founders
Jonathan McPike serves as the President of Agathos Law, a corporate and securities law firm that specializes in representing Parallel Economy companies. His typical client thinks that America has gone completely off the rails, is really distressed about it, is highly motivated to go do something about it, and is going to do it by starting, buying, or running a business. Before founding Agathos Law, Jonathan practiced private equity, venture capital, securities, and corporate law at large law firms, including at Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Chicago. Jonathan also served as a law clerk at the Indiana Supreme Court.
