Join us in New York for a high-energy AI & Tech Networking.
Meet investors, founders, AI experts, operators, and immigrant entrepreneurs building the next generation of global companies.
Selected founders take the stage for a focused 5-minute presentation in front of active investors and tech leaders.
If you’re serious about startups — you should be in the room.
For the people building with AI and technology: tables by stack and problem, five builders on stage for five minutes each, then an open hour.
Engineers, technical founders, ML and data people, product managers, and founders looking for their technical half. Built for the people writing the code and shipping the product.
Why it is worth itMost tech meetups are a talk with networking bolted on the end. This one is the other way round.

Frequently asked
No. The room is built around founders, but investors and operators (product, engineering, marketing, people who have done the job) are who founders come to meet. Each format says who it is for, and the event page repeats it for that evening.
At Pitch Nights and Investor Connect evenings, by application. A ticket lets you attend; a separate application, reviewed by a person, puts you on the list to present. Read how pitching works before you apply.
Sometimes, and we never promise it for a given night. Investors come to Investor Connect and to some pitch nights; they are approved on application and are not used as bait. Introductions to investors are made by us afterwards, through the Monday digest, and we take no percentage of any deal.
Open the event page and use its ticket button. It takes you to the platform that sells that evening, Eventbrite or Luma; your ticket and confirmation come from there, to the email you used. Right after the purchase you also get two emails from us: an invitation to our Luma calendar and an invitation to your city's community. Each evening is sold in one place only, and refunds follow that ticket page's terms.
You are in your city's community from the moment you buy the ticket: the invitation arrives with your purchase, and it opens in Slack, in the browser or in Telegram, three doors to one room. That is where the conversation continues and where the next date is announced. If you pitched, your startup enters our base with the evening and the date on record.
