NYC’s Most Active Startup Community Just Hit 25K - We are celebrating this with you.
A milestone was built the real way — by people who kept showing up, month after month. Claim your complimentary spot before capacity hits.
We didn’t plan this.
But when Startup+ hit 25K members last month something clicked.
This community built me as much as it built itself - so the next event?
Yeah… it’s on us.
“Damn… this actually became something.”
And not because of ads, or budgets, or campaigns - but because real people kept showing up. Month after month. Event after event.
People who came with curiosity, ambition, and sometimes… just vibes. 😄
And the wildest part?
Every single person added to that energy.
This is our personal way of saying: Thank you for helping a tiny community become a NYC-wide movement. ❤
📍 Dec 04th | Thursday | Sour Mouse, NYC
🎟️ Reserve your spot before capacity hits
This is our way of celebrating with you
We’ve had people tell us:
“Startup+ was the first event where I didn’t feel out of place.”
“I met my co-founder here.”
“I got my next job from someone I talked to at your event.”
“I don’t know how, but I always leave with five new ideas.”
Hearing stuff like that hits different.
It makes you realize a community is more than a headcount - it’s a living thing. It breathes. It grows.
It feeds off the people inside it.
And honestly?
You’re the reason this whole thing works.
Bring your friends. Bring your team. Bring your “should I start this idea?” energy.
What This Event Is Going to Feel Like ⚡
Imagine walking into a space buzzing so much, you can literally feel the ambition in the air.
You hear someone pitching a new AI idea to your left.
Someone laughing with a PM over a broken sprint on your right.
Two strangers bonding over failed startups at the bar.
A designer sketching something on a napkin.
An investor casually pretending they’re “just here to meet cool people.” 👀
It’s messy, loud, electric, chaotic, and somehow… perfect.
Especially when you know you’re surrounded by a hundred people who think like you, dream like you, and build like you.
Who You Might Meet (This Always Happens 🤝)
🔹 Someone who says one sentence that sparks your next idea
🔹 Someone looking for a co-founder
🔹 Someone who needs your skillset
🔹 Someone working on something eerily similar
🔹 Someone leaving a job
🔹 Someone hiring
🔹 Someone who knows someone
🔹 Someone who becomes a friend
🔹 Someone who becomes an investor
🔹 Someone who becomes your next chapter
That’s the Startup+ effect.
You don’t go home the same person you walked in as.
What You Should Bring (Not Your Resume) 😅
Bring pride in what you’re building.
Bring honesty about what you’re stuck on.
Bring a question you’d love to ask someone.
Bring your curiosity.
Bring your energy.
Leave the polished pitch at home.
Leave the pressure at the door.
Startup+ is real conversations - not performance.
Here’s Your Open Door — Walk Through It 🔑
You’ve helped turn this community into the most active, most electric, most consistently packed grassroots tech movement in NYC.
This event is our way of returning that energy back to you.
Let’s celebrate 25K the way NYC does best - together, in a loud room, full of people building cool things.
See you inside the room.
See you at Sour Mouse.
To the next 25K.
