​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 and 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 and space to dive into:

  • ​Where your startup stands today and where it’s headed
  • ​The biggest challenges you’re facing right now
  • ​Your long-term vision and how to get there

​Expect fresh perspectives actionable advice and 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.


​​"This event is ONLY for founders/CEO & C Levels"


​​Our event boasts an impressive lineup of attendees including esteemed individuals from renowned organizations such as Y Combinator 500 Startups and numerous talented founders from across the globe.


​​The majority of these attendees are exceptional pre-seed to series A founders who have demonstrated significant traction in their respective fields. We are delighted to bring together such a diverse and accomplished group of individuals creating an invaluable networking and learning opportunity for all participants.
