It all starts here, folks.

On June 4, we're bringing something truly different to NY Tech Week.

Rocket Mixer & Apollo Society are hosting the second edition of a one-of-a-kind event that redefines the tech experience-where wellness meets innovation in one of the most stunning venue in NYC: Edge observation deck.

The life of a founder is anything but linear. It's lived at the edge-of pressure, uncertainty, sharp turns, & constant intensity. Instead of ignoring that reality, we've built an experience around it.

The day begins with guided breath-work led by a professional instructor, helping founders reset & find clarity.

From there, the energy shifts. At the edge of the observation deck, eight top early-stage startups will step forward for a high-stakes elevator pitch competition, presenting to a leading VC fund for the opportunity to secure significant funding.

If you're interested in pitching at the competition, please use this link. APPLY HERE

We recommend reviewing the instructions in the application form before applying.

The morning continues with an exclusive private breakfast alongside a curated group of founders, VCs, & operators.

We're bringing a single, high-impact experience built as a three-part package: immersive breathwork, a pitch competition, & an exclusive private breakfast with founders, VCs, & operators. A can't-miss gathering.

See you on June 4!
