Shut Up & Write!® in Midtown
Shut Up & Write!® in Midtown
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 6:30 PM on Wednesday evenings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. ADDRESS: Stavros Public Library 455 5th Ave, 1st floor, New York, NY 10016 SCHEDULE: 6:20 - intros and discussion. 6:55 - move to upper library floor. 7:00 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 8:00 - (the end) chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL DINNER AND SOCIALIZING happens after the session. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. ABOUT US: Shut Up & Write hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour's progress. WHAT TO EXPECT: RSVP and please arrive 10–15 minutes early to get settled at an in-person event. Our host will lead introductions and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time. Afterward, we’ll have an optional time to chat and get to know each other. Members often talk about their successes and challenges as writers. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing. For more information about our events, visit https://shutupwrite.com. Being Late is Okay: Just show up and get settled, then check in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write sign.) If you are on time, please be willing to make room for any friendly latecomers.

February 19th, 2026 NYC Quantum Computing In Person Meetup (w/hybrid option)
February 19th, 2026 NYC Quantum Computing In Person Meetup (w/hybrid option)
**Abstract:** Current procedural content generation in media suffers from a dichotomy: it is either computationally efficient but predictable, or creative but prone to hallucination and error. The solution lies in a fundamental shift from classical procedural generation to quantum constraint satisfaction algorithms. In this talk, I will present the technical roadmap for MOTH, exploring how quantum computing is poised to become the foundation of the next generation of media. At MOTH we categorize the ecosystem into two eras: the current NISQ era, focused on Quantum Dynamics for visual and game asset generation, and the impending FTQC era, focused on optimization and generative solvers. We will demonstrate how early quantum algorithms are being integrated into commercial game engines today, and how the "Solver Substrate" of the 2030s will enable faster game development with more realistic and immersive worlds. **Bio:** Spencer Topel is a technologist and entrepreneur specializing in the commercial application of frontier technologies, including quantum computing, robotics, and embedded systems. He currently serves as CTO of Moth Quantum, where he directs the engineering roadmap for quantum software tools designed for the creative industries. Simultaneously, as Co-founder of Electron Robotics, he architects AI-driven adaptive systems for high-precision industrial automation. Topel’s technical background is rooted in the design of novel hardware and signal processing platforms. Through his first venture, Physical Synthesis, he developed proprietary acoustic actuation technology, earning industry recognition for innovation in electromechanical design. His pivot into quantum engineering began at the Yale Quantum Institute. Working alongside the Devoret Lab, Topel successfully engineered a hardware-software interface for superconducting qubits, translating quantum state dynamics into audio signals—a project that validated new approaches to human-computer interaction (HCI) in quantum systems. A former professor of Dartmouth College, Topel combines academic rigor with agile product development. He holds advanced degrees from Cornell University and the Juilliard School, and his transdisciplinary work has been exhibited at Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art.

The Algorithmic C-Suite: Scaling the Fractional Economy with AI
The Algorithmic C-Suite: Scaling the Fractional Economy with AI
Most founders hire their C-suite based on gut instinct or a frantic search through their immediate LinkedIn network. That leads to **expensive mis-hires and wasted runway**. **[Roei Samuel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roei-samuel/)** is turning executive hiring into a data science problem. **COMPLETE YOUR RSVP HERE TO ATTEND:** **[https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-algorithmic-c-suite-scaling-the-fractional-economy-with-ai/](https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-algorithmic-c-suite-scaling-the-fractional-economy-with-ai/)** After scaling his first venture to **9 million users** and **exiting at age 26**, Roei noticed a systemic friction in the startup ecosystem: founders couldn't find the right experts, and senior talent was burned out by the traditional 9-to-5. So he founded **[Connectd](https://www.connectd.com/us)** to solve this **using an AI-native engine** that doesn't just *match* keywords, but **analyzes a company's actual operational math**. Connectd’s AI ingests real-time data from each startup to determine exactly when they will be hitting a wall and who (*CFO vs. CRO vs. CMO*) is required to climb it. Since expanding to the U.S., the platform is generating revenue 10x faster than it did in the UK, **with New York City serving as the primary engine for this growth.** On **February 24th**, Roei joins us at **[Civic Hall ](https://www.civichall.org/)**to break down **how he’s building the infrastructure for the fractional economy** and why your next high-impact hire **shouldn't be a full-time employee**. **COMPLETE YOUR RSVP HERE TO ATTEND:** **[https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-algorithmic-c-suite-scaling-the-fractional-economy-with-ai/](https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-algorithmic-c-suite-scaling-the-fractional-economy-with-ai/)** **WHAT YOU’LL LEARN** * **The Predictive Hire:** How Connectd uses AI-powered insights to identify leadership gaps before a founder even realizes they exist. * **10x Expansion Playbook:** The specific tactics Roei used to scale U.S. revenue 10 times faster than the UK market in just 16 months. * **Runway-Friendly Leadership:** When to stop searching for a full-time executive and how to leverage a fractional C-suite to preserve capital. * **The Data Integration Layer:** Moving beyond resumes to analyze burn rates, churn, and financial signals as the primary drivers for talent matching. **WHO SHOULD ATTEND** * **Early-Stage Founders:** Stop guessing your next hire; learn to use operational data to build a specialized, fractional leadership team. * **Senior Professionals:** Learn how to move from corporate burnout to a high-leverage "fractional" career using intelligent algorithmic matching. * **Investors:** See how AI-driven reporting and expert matching can reduce the failure rate across your early-stage portfolio. **Tickets for this event include food and drinks**, as well as direct access to a founder who has successfully navigated the high-stakes journey from student side-hustle **to international AI-powered scale-up**. You'll also meet dozens of other high-performing entrepreneurs who are creating their next big thing. **Seriously, it's some of the best founder networking in the city.** **COMPLETE YOUR RSVP HERE TO ATTEND:** **[https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-algorithmic-c-suite-scaling-the-fractional-economy-with-ai/](https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-algorithmic-c-suite-scaling-the-fractional-economy-with-ai/)** Getting a ticket guarantees admission. **No waitlisting.** **AGENDA** * 6:00 PM: Networking, Food & Drinks * 7:00 PM: Fireside Chat with Roei Samuel * 8:00 PM: Meet the Speaker **And don't miss our other monthly tech events.** They are great opportunities for **builders, founders, and operators** to network with each other to share best practices and find new resources to grow your startup the right way. **See our full event lineup** [here](https://www.startupgrind.com/new-york-city/).
Rust NYC: Compile-Time Solutions
Rust NYC: Compile-Time Solutions
Join us on **Thursday, February 26** at **Datadog Times Square**. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. to give attendees plenty of time to grab pizza and socialize, and the talk begin at 7:15 p.m. Following the success of the UnConf we've absorbed all of your feedback and have two awesome speakers! **Robin Molen-Grigull is CTO at Fullstack.Trade** \- a stealth mode firm focused on high performance compute and latency in the Web3 space\. **Storage Tetris: Compile-Time Solutions for 32-Byte Storage Constraints** Fitting arbitrary Rust structs into fixed 32-byte storage slots is a puzzle, but Rust’s macros and type system make it solvable. Automatic layout and lazy loading, combined with a small macro, turn low-level storage primitives into clean .field() accessors. Associated types and compile-time offset calculations eliminate manual storage arithmetic while remaining zero-cost. **James Logan is a Principal Scientific Software Engineer at Commonwealth Fusion** **Interpn: Fast Interpolation** James Logan recently delivered a ten minute lightning talk at Rust Boston. The goal of that talk was to share "Everything I learned making software 300x faster than state-of-the-art". James has used Interpn in a way like never seen before, improving performance in a way that is unimaginably unique and can be applied by so many engineers. This is definitely one not to be missed. **[Lawrence Harvey](https://www.lawrenceharvey.com/)** is Rust NYC's official recruitment partner, with Ross providing support as a co-organizer and financial support. The space is generously sponsored by our partner **Datadog.**
First session of Do the Write Thing, with Rafi Zabor:
First session of Do the Write Thing, with Rafi Zabor:
Are you writing fiction? Hazarding the waters of memoir? You’ve probably done enough of it to know that sometimes it’s work, sometimes play, sometimes easy, sometimes impossible, and that we all need a little help now and then. This group is tailored to the needs of writers already up to here in the work of it, Do the Write Thing, with Rafi Zabor, will begin meeting on September 10, 2017, for six sessions on alternate Sundays. After supervising the Kensington/Windsor Terrace Workshop for six months on an informal, come-one come-all basis, I’ve decided to move on to a more structured format tailored to the needs of writers already engaged in serious creative work that can benefit from workshopping with other gifted workers, and from expert editorial advice, commentary, and revision. We’ll try to help your work shine more brightly, and get it ready for publication. The workshop will meet six times for three hours, on alternate Sunday afternoons, beginning 10 September and concluding on November 12th, at our workspace near Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens: Compound Cowork Space, 1120 Washington Avenue, 2nd floor. It will be limited to eight members and cost $55 per session, half the total payable in advance. The emphasis will be on fiction, in short or long form, but memoirs will also be considered for inclusion. What you can expect is acute commentary from talented fellow writers—we already have a couple onboard—and from me. In addition, I will provide you with a written critique of your work, including editorial suggestions and, if needed, some outright doctoring of the manuscript. My characteristic emphasis is on getting life onto the page, and the technical means of doing so: narrative voice, selection of detail, and all the ways in which you can invite the reader to enter your storytelling world and delight in it. In addition to publishing non-fiction in a variety of magazines, I am the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novel The Bear Comes Home, and the ‘souvenir’ or memoir I, Wabenzi. I’ve taught writing workshops at the 92nd Street Y and other venues, have worked privately with writers at home and abroad and have spent most of a not-so-short lifetime working out what stories are worth telling and hearing, and what makes them go. Please send your manuscript to me at rafzab297@gmail.com . I’ll give it my complete attention, and will get back to you about the prospects. Completed stories and portions of longer work in progress are equally welcome, but do get them to me soon, since you care about your writing and so do I. Absolute last minute deadline, September 1, but sooner is better. I’ll get back to you as promptly as I can. Wishing you and your writing all the best::::::::Rafi Zabor
