Hey there!
November is right around the corner, and if there’s one thing we know about NYC’s tech scene, it’s that there’s always something being built, launched, funded, or figured out.
There are founders working on their next big idea, operators figuring out how to scale, investors looking for promising teams, and ambitious people trying to find their place in the ecosystem.
But here’s the thing: some of the most valuable opportunities don’t come from another LinkedIn connection, another cold email, or another hour spent scrolling online.
They come from showing up.
From striking up a conversation with someone you wouldn’t have met otherwise. From discovering that the person standing next to you is working on a problem you’ve been thinking about for months. Or from meeting someone who introduces you to the exact person you’ve been hoping to connect with.
That’s why we’re bringing the Startup+ community together again this November. Dont miss your chance this
🍻 Your next NYC tech meetup is on November 5
We’re heading back to Sour Mouse, NYC, for another evening of in-person networking with the people building, investing in, and shaping the city’s startup ecosystem. Reserve your spot now!
And the response is already rolling in.
78 people have registered so far.
Founders, investors, operators, builders, and other members of NYC’s tech community are making plans to spend the evening meeting new people and catching up with familiar faces.
Whether you’re actively building a company, exploring a new opportunity, growing your network, or simply curious about what others in the startup world are working on, we’d love to have you there.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Thursday, November 5, 2026
Doors open: 5:00 PM
Location: Sour Mouse, NYC
Format: In-person networking with NYC’s tech community
Add it to your calendar, bring your curiosity, and come ready to meet some interesting people.
No panels. No long speeches. Just real conversations.
We’ve always believed that networking doesn’t need to be complicated.
Sometimes, all it takes is a quick introduction.
Think less formal event, more evening out with people who understand the excitement and challenges of the startup world.
You could end up talking about:
✅ A product idea you’ve been thinking about launching.
✅ A challenge your startup is trying to solve.
✅ An industry trend that’s changing how people work.
✅ A potential collaboration or business opportunity.
Or absolutely anything else that comes up in a good conversation.
There’s no complicated agenda to follow. Just show up, introduce yourself, and see where the evening takes you.
🚀 Who will you meet?
NYC’s tech ecosystem is full of people with different backgrounds, experiences, ambitions, and ideas. Bringing those people together is what makes these gatherings worthwhile.
- Founders and entrepreneurs
- Investors and ecosystem supporters
- Operators and professionals
- Builders and aspiring founders
You don’t need to be a founder or an investor to belong here. If you’re interested in technology, entrepreneurship, startups, and meeting ambitious people, there’s a place for you in the conversation.
🌆 Why make time for an in-person event?
Let’s be honest: NYC is busy.
Between work, projects, side hustles, meetings, and everything else competing for your attention, it’s easy to put networking off until later.
But building a strong professional network isn’t just about collecting contacts. It’s about building relationships over time.
It’s about getting to know people beyond their job titles, hearing what they’re working on, sharing experiences, and staying connected to the ideas and people shaping your industry.
A single evening won’t change everything. But one conversation can lead to another, and sometimes those connections turn into something much bigger.
That’s the spirit behind Startup+: making it easier for NYC’s startup community to meet in real life.
🧡 A growing community, built around showing up
Startup+ brings together founders, investors, operators, and builders through in-person events designed to make meeting people feel natural.
We’re here for the people building companies, exploring ideas, sharing knowledge, and helping the NYC tech ecosystem grow.
And every gathering is another opportunity to meet someone new, reconnect with someone you’ve met before, and make this community a little more connected.
Whether this will be your first Startup+ event or you’re returning for another evening, we’re excited to bring everyone together again.
🎟️ So, what’s your plan for November 5?
You could spend another Thursday evening doing the usual.
Or you could head to Sour Mouse, meet a few new people, hear what others are building, and leave with some new connections. Be a part of the community!
78 people are already registered. Come be part of the room.
