About this Event
Stop guessing and start doing. Finding a co-founder, teammate, or intern is a lot like dating—it’s easy to look good on paper, but the real magic (or the real friction) happens when you’re actually in the trenches together.
The Date Before You Marry (DBYM) Mixer is your chance to move past the resume and see if the chemistry is real. Whether you’re a founder looking for your "other half" or a talented professional seeking your next big mission, this event is designed to bridge the gap between "nice to meet you" and "let’s build this."
The DBYM process is a hands-on way to test-drive teamwork. Founders post short-term projects with clear deliverables, and applicants apply to tackle them. It’s a low-risk, high-reward trial run to see if your work styles, communication rhythms, and goals truly align before you make things official.
This isn't your typical awkward networking hour. It’s a strategic opportunity to:
- For Founders/Team Leads: Meet your applicants face-to-face, pitch your vision, and see who truly "gets" your project.
- For Applicants: Get the inside scoop on recruiting teams, ask the hard questions, and find a project that matches your skills and passions.
- For Everyone: Establish authentic connections and expand your network within the startup ecosystem.
