🧃 Startup + × NY Tech Week — June 5 @ Sour Mouse
No panels. No pitches. Just 100+ real humans building cool things. This is tech networking, minus the cringe.
Hey friend,
We’ve seen the emails - “Network with VCs over sliders and spreadsheets.”
We’ve been to those events. Name tags, stiff intros, someone in the corner pitching their crypto idea for a dog gym.
We say… hard pass. 😅
Startup+ is doing Tech Week NYC differently.
Why this event matters
Startup+ has always been about meaningful, in‑person conversations. As part of NY Tech Week and the Luma NYC curated calendar, this gathering will bring together 100+ members of the local tech community for focused networking and thoughtful idea‑sharing.
On Thursday, June 5th, we’re hosting a laid-back tech meetup at Sour Mouse NYC, a vibey Lower East Side venue with ping pong, good music, and even better energy.
🎉 No panels. No pitches. No pressure. Just 100+ startup folks looking to connect like actual humans.
✅ What to Expect:
Founders, builders, designers, developers, VCs, and the startup-curious
Great drinks, pool tables, neon signs, and spontaneous convos
Zero PowerPoint decks
That moment where you realize… you actually love networking (here)
And yes — there’s an awesome bar. 🍻
Networking should feel like happy hour, not a Shark Tank audition.
