ChaiChats

​ChaiChats is a relaxed, welcoming virtual gathering for founders, builders, operators, technologists, and community members — in Boston and around the world — who want space for real conversation.
​This is not a webinar.
There’s no pitch deck.
There’s no formal agenda.
​ChaiChats is closer to a coffee hour or open office hours — a place to slow down, check in, and talk about what we’re building, what we’re learning, and what we’re navigating right now.
​Hosted by Steve Vilkas and Shweta Agrawal, ChaiChats reflects the values at the heart of Boston New Technology and SheBuilds: accessibility, curiosity, generosity, and care for the people doing the work — not just the work itself.
​What to Expect

• ​A light welcome and framing
• ​Open conversation (you’re welcome to speak or just listen)
• ​Thoughtful prompts to get things started
• ​A respectful, time-bound close

​What This Is Not

• ​Not a pitch event
• ​Not a panel or presentation
• ​Not a sales or recruiting session

​Who This Is For

• ​Founders and early builders
• ​Operators, product leaders, and technologists
• ​Investors, mentors, and ecosystem supporters
• ​Anyone curious about community, technology, and building with intention

​You don’t need to prepare anything.
You don’t need to “perform.”
You’re welcome to come exactly as you are.
​Pour a cup, join us virtually, and be part of the conversation.
