Why Founders, Investors, and Operators Keep Coming Back to Startup+ Events in NYC
Another month, another round of good conversations. Here's what's been happening in the Startup+ community and what's coming up in NYC.
NYC has no shortage of networking events. What makes Startup+ different comes down to who shows up: founders building their first product, investors looking for the next deal, operators who’ve scaled teams before, and people who just want to talk shop with others doing the same work.
Every month, that group gets together to talk about fundraising, product, partnerships, and whatever’s happening in AI, SaaS, fintech, and healthcare right now.
Last Month’s Event, In Short
Jul 2nd, we had 127 founders, investors, and operators in the room at Sour Mouse, NYC.
If you were there, thanks for coming. If you weren’t, here’s your reminder that these fill up fast.
The next event we are hosting is on Aug 06th at Sour Mouse, NYC. Doors open at 5pm.

When: Aug 06th, Thursday | 5pm
Where: Sour Mouse, NYC
A few reasons people keep showing up:
The room is full of people actually building things, not just collecting business cards. A five-minute conversation here has turned into partnerships, hires, customer introductions, and fundraising conversations for past attendees.
The conversations tend to be real.
Founders talk about what’s actually hard right now.
Investors ask about the parts of the business that don’t make it into the pitch deck.
Nobody’s trying to close a LinkedIn connection and move on.
It works whether you’re building your first company or your third. Early-stage founders end up next to people who’ve already scaled and sold.
Investors get to meet founders before they’re on anyone else’s radar.
What to expect at an event: a room of founders and operators, conversations about where tech is headed, and a decent chance you leave with an introduction worth following up on.
