About this Event

Wake Up Human... // West Valley Founder & Tech Mixer

Networking has become transactional, automated, and tired. Wake Up Human... is a monthly happy hour series built for West Valley founders, technologists, builders, and innovators who value authentic human connection over scripted pitch decks.
Whether you're scaling a startup, building software, leading an engineering team, or launching a new venture, this is a space to drop the corporate persona and talk about what you’re actually building, testing, and solving.

What to Expect

• Zero Pitch Decks, No Slides: Just candid, high-value conversations with local peers.
• Social Intelligence Focus: Connect with people who care about building resilient teams, navigating tech shifts, and fostering real human collaboration in an automated world.
• Casual Happy Hour Vibe: Drop in anytime between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Grab a drink, step onto the patio, and start a conversation.
• Open Cash Bar: Enjoy the craft food and drink menu at The Social on 83rd.
