YC Founders Summer Mixer
Monday, August 17, 2026
5:30 PM-8:00 PM
San Francisco
Join us for the next gathering of the YC founder community, bringing together current YC founders & alumni for an evening of drinks, light bites, & founder-to-founder conversation.
Following the strong response to our recent YC Founders Wine & Cocktails Mixer, this event will provide another relaxed setting for founders to reconnect, meet people from other batches, & have useful conversations away from the usual conference environment.
There will be no formal presentations & no pitching. The focus is simply on bringing together a high-quality group of YC founders in the same room.
