Our conversations will naturally span emerging AI technologies, leadership, business transformation, responsible AI, career development, and the challenges and opportunities of bringing intelligent systems into the real world. We’ll also be shaping the future of this community together — exploring what topics matter most, what events we’d like to organize, and how we can create a valuable network for NYC’s technology leaders. Who Should Attend?

For each of these adventures, everyone at the party plays a role and everyone is a suspect! When you arrive our staff will be on hand to welcome you and give you a character to play in the story. It is designed to be fun and not super hard. During the night our host will narrate the chain of events that lead to the murder then it is up to you to solve the case! **What to expect?** You will be given a character that may be the person who everyone is looking for or you may be the person who solves the mystery. (You will not know right away). Our hosts will set the mood and explain what you need to do which is pretty much relax and enjoy the party with all of the other guests who are playing characters too! **What's the story?** **THE STORY** Katie and Ronald have been dating on and off since high school. Their relationship has survived breakups, makeups, money problems, cheating accusations, lies, jealousy, and enough drama to fill ten years of reality television. But somehow, they always found their way back to each other. After a decade together, Ronald finally popped the question—and now their wedding is only **one week away!** Katie and Ronald are convinced that the problems of their past are behind them. They’re older. They’re wiser. They’ve matured. They’ve forgiven each other. At least… that’s what they keep telling everyone. To celebrate their final days of single life, Katie and Ronald have decided to skip the traditional separate bachelor and bachelorette parties and throw **one enormous combined celebration** instead. They’ve chartered a party bus and invited an unforgettable collection of friends, family members, former flames, old enemies, questionable acquaintances, and a few characters from their past who probably should have stayed there. The plan is simple: pile onto the party bus, hit several locations, drink too much, party too hard, and celebrate the happy couple before they walk down the aisle. **What could possibly go wrong?** Apparently… everything. As the party rolls from one stop to the next, the drinks start flowing—and so do the secrets. Old grudges resurface. Past relationships are exposed. Feelings get hurt. Friendships are tested. Unexpected bonds are formed. Hookups happen. Accusations start flying. And some people begin to wonder whether Katie and Ronald should be getting married at all. Then the celebration takes a deadly turn. **Before the night is over, one member of the party will be DEAD.** Suddenly, everyone is a suspect. Was it the jealous ex-boyfriend who never got over the bride? The nagging future mother-in-law who thinks this wedding is a terrible mistake? A jilted former lover looking for revenge? The minister who knows more about the couple than anyone realizes? The bride’s bizarre brother, who’s been acting suspiciously all night? Or could the killer be someone even closer to the wedding…**Katie or Ronald themselves?** Everyone aboard the party bus has a story. Everyone has a secret. And someone has a motive for murder. You’re invited to join Katie and Ronald for one final night of partying before they say **“I do.”** But choose your friends carefully. Because tonight… **You could be the victim. You could be the murderer. Or you could be the one who solves the case.** Welcome aboard. FAQs: **Can I come alone?** Yes 90% of those attending will likely register on their own but you are invited to bring as many guests as you would like just register for that amount. **Age-specific?** All are welcome 21 and over. **How much?** $20-$30 depending upon how early you purchase. NOT sold at door. Game limited to 40 people and this sells out quickly.

Startup Pitch Events NYC: 5 Founders on Stage
Wed, Dec 2, 11:00 PMJoin founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in New York.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-pitch-events-nyc-5-founders-on-stage-tickets-1999718954223?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** **You've been running the idea past ChatGPT. ChatGPT has never once told you it wouldn't work. Tonight you get a room that will.** Five founders, five minutes each, on a Fifth Avenue rooftop in Manhattan. Wednesday. **Three reasons people come back** * You get a table, not a lap of the room. You pick a topic the room voted on and stay there for the hour, instead of wandering with a drink looking for a gap in somebody else's conversation. * You get a stage short enough to be honest. Five minutes each, no slides read out loud, then the room asks questions. The questions are the good part. * You get the hour after. The stage ends, nobody's performing any more, and the floor stays open. That's the hour people actually remember. **Your ticket is also a login** Most events end when you walk out. This one hands you a link: your profile, who else is coming before you get there, a group chat for this specific Wednesday, and a recap afterwards of who you actually met. Then you land in the New York space and stay there. That's where the second conversation happens, the one you meant to have before the room got loud. Free with your ticket, on the web or in Telegram: [ascentvalley.com/community](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community") **Is this your room?** Yes, if you're building something, anywhere from the first line of code to Series A. Or you run a function at a company that's scaling, write the code, do the hiring, or you're still deciding whether to start. Probably not, if what you're picturing is a room full of investors. How that actually works is further down, and it's better than the picture. **Want the stage?** Apply at ascentvalley.com/pitch. Five founders an evening, and we answer everybody, including the people we don't pick. Applying is free, but you do need a ticket, because we check the order number. Never pitched before? Five minutes is short enough that it's over before the nerves have finished arriving. **What we don't promise, and what we do instead** We don't promise an investor will be in the room on any given Wednesday. Angels and people who work at funds come, some Wednesdays several of them, and we won't tell you in advance who's coming, because we don't know. We don't run a judging panel, hand out a prize, or keep a leaderboard. Here's what doesn't depend on who walks in that night. Your application to the stage becomes your profile in our startup directory, and a person reads it, not a scoring script. Once you're verified, that profile sits in front of the funds and angels in our network, and they ask for the introduction themselves when your company matches what they're actually looking for. You choose whether you're in the weekly digest and you can leave it any time. We never sell your details, we don't take equity, we don't take a cut of your round, and we don't give investment advice. Which means the room on Wednesday isn't the whole opportunity. It's the part you can see: [ascentvalley.com/pitch](https://ascentvalley.com/pitch "https://ascentvalley.com/pitch") **Why it's worth a Wednesday** Watching somebody explain their company in five minutes teaches you more about explaining yours than another evening alone with the deck. You'll hear the question you've been quietly avoiding get asked out loud to somebody else, and you get to watch how they handle it. That skill travels. It works on a first date, in a performance review, and at the dinner where somebody asks what you do and you've got twenty seconds before their eyes move on. So bring the friend who keeps saying they have an idea. Five minutes on that stage is the shortest distance between having an idea and finding out what a room full of strangers thinks of it.
