Professional Mixer for Founders & Builders

Update: We’re moving to Carlotta's Cocktail & Wine Bar located at Hotel Julian due to the previous venue unavailability.

The ground is shifting. AI is reshaping every industry, and the pace is relentless. This isn't another surface-level mixer; it's a strategy session for those shaping what's next — aspiring founders, current founders, and the professionals driving growth.

Through a flow of focused, one-on-one 8-minute conversations, you’ll meet others navigating similar challenges, all amplified by the rapid pace of change. Feel free to dive into:

• Launching & Growing: Getting a new venture or product off the ground.
• Adopting AI: Integrating new tools and workflows to stay competitive.
• Hiring & Fundraising: Building a team and securing capital in this new landscape.
• Staying Sane: Managing the pressure of building while everything is in flux.

Come as you are — with an idea on a napkin, a product in beta, or a team on the rise. Leave with actionable insights, potential collaborators, and a sharper sense of direction.
