14 of 16 founders left the Elizabeth Holmes movie screening with a better view of her

First Round took 150 founders, investors and builders to an early screening of the new Elizabeth Holmes / Nathan Fielder movie. Afterwards, 16 randomly surveyed attendees said: 14 felt more positive toward Holmes (not fans, just less negative), 1 more negative; all 16 turned more negative on Billy Evans; 14 more negative on Amanda Seyfried; and all 16 became lifelong Nathan Fielder fans.
The poster then poses a question: with today's on-tap creative capability, how would you structure 3 hours with 150 founders, investors and builders to maximize value while also building social capital?
