Forget the slides and scripts, Startup+ July 3 is all about real talk, genuine connections, and the kind of conversations that spark your next big move. No pitch decks required. Just show up.
Who said you need NY Tech Week to bring in 100+ attendees? Not us, Startup+ has done it over and over again. 135+ registrations already for tomorrow’s event (despite adding more tickets). This is the last call, registration closes in a few hours → Claim your spot!
You’re exhausted. Not just from building, but from the performance of building.
The pitch deck. The elevator pitch. The Notion doc that somehow needs to communicate your vision, your traction, your growth strategy, and your childhood trauma... all in 10 bullet points.
Let’s be honest, half the time you're just tweaking the font size on slide 6 wondering if that’s the real reason you haven’t raised.
Here’s the truth no one puts on LinkedIn: Sometimes the most important conversations start before you ever open your deck. And that’s exactly why we created Startup+.
❌ No Decks. No Pressure. Just People.
Startup+ is not a pitch event.
We’re not giving out mics. We’re not reviewing your slide transitions. We’re not ranking your "market opportunity" from 1 to yawn.
Instead, we’re creating something simpler — and more powerful:
A room full of real humans who are building, struggling, iterating, scaling, pivoting, and (sometimes) just vibing, all under one roof, without pretending to have it all figured out.
If you’ve ever thought, "I don’t need another startup event, I need startup people..." You’re in the right place.

🧠 What Happens When You Just Show Up?
Here’s what we’ve seen happen at Startup+:
Someone mentioned an idea offhand. Someone else said, “Let’s build it.” Now they’re co-founders.
A founder met their future investor — no pitch deck exchanged, just a 5-minute convo about shared values.
Two product nerds bonded over their failed launches. Now? They’re quietly crushing it together.
That’s the magic. No cold outreach. No pitch prep. Just showing up and seeing what unfolds.
The energy will be high. And the tables? Full of the people you’ve been meaning to meet the ones who get it.
(And yes, it sold out last time. We’re not trying to fake scarcity we genuinely couldn’t let everyone in. So if you’re even thinking about it, grab that ticket early.)
🧃What You Can Expect:
A curated crowd of founders, product people, engineers, and VCs
No stages, no spotlight just raw, open conversation
Lightning-fast intros + organic hangouts
Drinks, ideas, and energy, the startup kind, not the "corporate mixer" kind
A vibe that’s one part demo day, one part dive bar, and all heart
🎯 Who’s This For?
You don’t need traction. You don’t need funding. You don’t need to be "crushing it."
You just need to be in motion.
Whether you’re:
Deep in the weeds of your Series A
Spitballing your next big idea
Pivoting for the third time this month
Looking for your next hire, co-founder, or just someone who speaks your weird startup language…
Startup+ is the room. And you should be in it.
🤖 Okay, But What If I’m Shy?
First of all: same.
Second of all: that’s the point.
Startup+ is not about being the loudest. It’s about being real. The quiet ones? They usually drop the deepest wisdom mid-convo. We see it happen every time.
You don’t need to rehearse. You don’t need to lead with your traction slide. Just come as you are. We promise it works.
Because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs don’t come in a pitch… They come over drinks, in the back of a bar, in a conversation you never saw coming.
You just have to be there.
Let’s talk. Let’s build. Let’s remind each other why we started this crazy ride in the first place.
