Most "networking" groups are just noise. Startup+ is the signal.
We’ve built more than just a mailing list; we’ve built the primary hub for NYC’s founders, engineers, and investors who are tired of scrolling and ready to build. If you want to be in the rooms where the city’s biggest deals and smartest pivots are happening, you’re in the right place.

The Startup+ Footprint:

  • The Hub: A high-impact network of 16,000+ members across our Meetup groups.
  • The Insights: 11,000+ Substack subscribers fueling over 500,000 newsletter views and reads.
  • The Movement: 3,000+ active builders on Luma, showing up in person to move the needle.

We don't do boring panels or "pay-to-play" networking. We create high-energy, high-value environments where the next big thing in NYC tech is being built—one conversation at a time.
Join the movement. Let’s build something real.

    A quick word on Startup+
    We kicked this off in 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, because Zoom mixers just weren’t cutting it. Fast‑forward: 25k members, 75+ mixers, 12 pitch nights, and 6000 folks through the doors. We keep it simple—connect good people and let the magic happen.

    Heads‑up: capacity is capped. Only confirmed Luma RSVPs are admitted at the door. Walk‑ins = no go.
