Startup+ Networking Mixers: More Than Just Name Tags in NYC
Name tags are optional, but game-changing connections aren’t. Join the city’s most exciting startup community.
A quick story for you:
Last month, a founder walked into a Startup+ event with a half-baked idea scribbled on a napkin. They weren’t looking for money. They weren’t looking for validation. Honestly, they weren’t even sure if they should say it out loud.
By the end of the night, they’d found:
An investor who had been waiting for someone to tackle that exact problem.
A builder who had solved a similar challenge before.
And a new friend who said, “Hey, let’s grab coffee tomorrow and map this out.”
That’s Startup+.
It’s not about name tags. It’s about moments of collision — where the right person, at the right time, changes your trajectory.
🚀 Why Startup+ Nights Matter
The startup world loves to glamorize boardrooms, pitch decks, and “the big meeting.” But truth is: the best ideas are sparked in messy, human places.
At bars with doodles on napkins.
In hallways after events.
Over a ping-pong game at Sour Mouse.
On Thursday, September 4th at 5:30 PM, we’re bringing founders, operators, and investors together again at Sour Mouse NYC — a place that feels more like a hangout than a networking event.
What You’ll Actually Get
💡 New perspectives — because talking with someone outside your bubble can change everything.
🤝 Real connections — people who listen first, pitch second.
🍸 A relaxed setting — because good ideas rarely flow in stiff hotel ballrooms.
Who Should Come?
The founder sitting on “that one idea” they haven’t told anyone yet.
The investor who values grit over glossy pitch decks.
The operator who loves solving problems others avoid.
And honestly… anyone who believes NYC is better when we build together.
Your Move
Spots always fill up fast — and NYC doesn’t wait around.
Come curious. Leave with stories you’ll tell for years.
Because the best part of Startup+?
You never know who you’ll bump into.
See you on Sept 4th,
Aneesh Lal, Founder, Startup+
Jaynish Shah, Community Lead, Startup+
