On July 24th, join us for an honest conversation with our very own Shiyan K., and Dalton Fouts, the founder and driving force behind the incredible success of ReturnKey! Dalton’s journey to founding ReturnKey screams Hustle. Dalton started his career working successive logistics roles at UPS while attending the University of Miami. From there, he graduated with a Fulbright Fellowship to West Java, Indonesia, and joined NinjaVan during their first year of operating, where he scaled the growth function and noted the changes in the business every 3x growth cycle. Using these experiences, Dalton began to tackle Indonesia’s $19B ecommerce returns, and starting building ReturnKey. Fast forward to today and Dalton has recently closed a $8M USD Series A. Don't miss this exclusive chance to hear from Dalton himself and learn how ReturnKey came to be. Join us for a night of networking, pizza, and real talk. We’re so excited to connect with the Jakarta founder community! Founder Friends is FREE to attend! Secure your spot now by RSVPing here: https://lu.ma/ffJKT-July24
