About this pod

The Virtual room.

Virtual pod members join from every timezone — founders who need LEC rhythm when travel isn't on the calendar.

Monthly virtual meets, cross-pod hot seats and replay library access keep momentum between in-person windows.

Every LEC member can attend virtual sessions globally — home pod or visiting.

Can't travel this quarter? Virtual sessions mirror each pod window — breakout rooms, Q&A, and recordings in the library.

Geography shouldn't decide whether you get a seat at the table.
