What is this?
It's an intimate founders gathering designed for meaningful, in-depth conversations.

Building a startup in San Francisco isn't just about the idea-it's about the people around you. That's why we're creating a space where tech founders can connect, share insights, & find real opportunities-whether it's a co-founder, investor, client, or simply a like-minded friend.

This isn't a typical networking event. It's an intimate gathering designed for meaningful, in-depth conversations. You'll have the time & space to dive into:

Where your startup stands today & where it's headed
The biggest challenges you're facing right now
Your long-term vision & how to get there
Expect fresh perspectives, actionable advice, & a community that genuinely supports your success. If you're looking for more than just business cards-if you're seeking real conversations that move the needle-this is the place to be.
