Founders & Engineers NYC

This group is for serious software engineers, technical builders, and founders looking to form real startup partnerships.

The goal is to connect people who can contribute meaningful value from day one — whether that’s engineering, product, sales, operations, domain expertise, distribution, or funding. This is not an “I have an idea, build it for equity” group.

Founders are expected to bring either:

• Clear execution ability and measurable skills
• Existing traction, customers, network, or industry expertise
• A real budget for technical work

Engineers are expected to bring:

• Strong technical skills
• Product-building ability
• Interest in building companies, not freelancing

“You build it, I market it” is not enough. Everyone should be able to clearly explain what they contribute.

Events will focus on:

• Meeting potential co-founders and early team members
• Startup idea validation and feedback
• Technical/product discussions
• Founder-engineer networking
• Pitching projects and finding collaborators
• Building real companies and MVPs
