Startup+ Mixers: Where Founders, Builders & Investors Collide | Tech Startup Community in NYC
Real connections. Real opportunities. One room that can change your startup journey.
Hi There,
Let’s be honest…
Most networking events feel like downloading an app you’ll never open again: awkward, clunky, and kind of a waste of storage.
But Startup+ mixers?
They’re where real startup collisions happen.
Over the last 75+ events, we’ve watched co-founders meet, devs join teams, and investors discover the next big thing — all in casual convos over pizza and cold drinks.
Here’s what we mean 👇
🍕 The Co-Founder Match Made in Mozzarella
Max walked into our mixer running on caffeine and pure founder fatigue.
Within 20 minutes, he met Sam, a builder with exactly the skills Max needed. They swapped war stories, compared tech stacks, and realized they were the missing pieces of each other’s startup puzzle.
Result? They launched their MVP weeks later.
Startup math: 1 tired founder + 1 skilled dev = 🚀
👩💻 Julia: Came for Pizza, Left with Equity
Julia RSVP’d for one reason: pizza. 🍕
But then she bumped into a founder desperate for a developer. One conversation later, she was on the team.
Fast-forward a few months → the product shipped and landed its first paying customer.
Not bad for “just showing up.”
💸 The Investor Who Finally Got Networking
David was the “email me the deck” type. He didn’t believe in mixers.
But when he showed up, he realized Startup+ was more like an early-access beta for spotting founders before anyone else.
Within months, he invested in three startups he met here.
Networking ROI: unlocked.
