The Best Connections Start Offline, And This Room Is Built for the Ones Who Actually Show Up
In a world of templated pitches and calendar clutter, Startup+ brings you back to what matters - Meet real people, real conversations, and real momentum. Join us on July 3 in NYC.
Hey Founders, Builders, Hustlers, and Dreamers,
When was the last time you had a conversation that didn’t involve three tabs, a Slack notification, and an algorithm watching silently in the corner?
No shade to your favorite productivity tools — we love Notion and ChatGPT as much as anyone else, but when it comes to real connection, nothing beats being in the room. The one with the noise, the laughs, the drink spills, and the “wait, that’s actually a brilliant idea” moments.
That’s why Startup+ is back on July 3rd, and we’re bringing the energy, again.

Last time? We sold out. People kept messaging us to get them in.
We already have more than 100 RSVPs, we will close when we have about 17 more (We need to respect the capacity of the venue as well)So, a tip from us to you - don’t wait.
😎 But Wait — What is Startup+?
It’s not your typical networking event.
There are no panels.
No keynotes.
No one is awkwardly pitching at the bar.
Just a curated room full of founders, VCs, builders, and product obsessives who are down to talk shop, share war stories, and maybe even start something wild together.
Think of it like the group chat — but IRL, and everyone actually replies.



🧠 Who’s It For?
If you’re…
Launching something
Scaling something
Thinking about pivoting
Thinking about quitting, but drinking coffee instead
Hiring, raising, or just curious
Or even looking for your next dream role in a startup space
…you’ll feel right at home here.
We’re not here to impress each other with metrics. We’re here to make the magic happen through honest conversations.
🥂 What You’ll Experience
A high-signal crowd of builders, operators, and investors
Lightning-fast intros (no “tell me what you do” fatigue)
Zero pitches, zero panels, maximum serendipity
Cold drinks, warm intros, and 🔥 startup energy
Startup+ is where ideas flow faster than the espresso at your co-working space.
🦾 What Makes This Different?
Other events feel like homework.
This one feels like a dopamine hit for your founder brain.
We’re serious about the no-boring-people policy. Everyone in the room is there to build something, find someone, or spark something big.
And the vibe? It’s like demo day met a rooftop party — minus the pressure, plus the possibility.
🎯 TL;DR for the Super Busy (or Chronically Tabbed Out):
Real people.
No panels.
Drinks, convos, and startup magic.
July 3. NYC.
RSVP now or risk maximum FOMO.
Let’s get back to the basics — the real convos, the eye contact, the spontaneous “I’m in” moments that no Google Calendar invite can capture.
Because in a world full of cold emails and warm intros, nothing beats showing up.
See you July 3,
Aneesh Lal, Founder
