Founders & Friends
Details
Join us for another evening of Founders & Friends in one of NYC's hidden garden spaces.
Think of it less as a networking event and more as a casual backyard gathering. We're bringing together founders, creators, operators, and ambitious people for an evening of genuine conversation in a relaxed setting.
No panels. No pitches. No awkward networking.
Just good people, thoughtful conversations, and a chance to meet others who are building interesting things, exploring new ideas, and looking to connect beyond the usual small talk.
Whether you're hoping to meet collaborators, make new friends, find inspiration, or simply enjoy a summer evening with a great group of people, we'd love to have you.
Flow of the night:
• 6:00–6:30 pm — Arrive, grab a drink, and mingle in the garden
• 6:30–7:00 pm — Quick introductions (who you are + what you're building or excited about)
• 7:00–8:00 pm — Open conversation and networking
We're building this community intentionally, one gathering at a time, and each event helps shape what it becomes.
To keep the atmosphere personal and the conversations meaningful, space is limited.
Feel free to invite someone who would add to the energy of the evening.
When: Thursday, July 23rd, 6:00–8:00pm
