You're Invited: Startup+ : Where NYC Tech Meets, Builds, and Connects | Aug 7 in NYC
Skip the awkward intros and tired pitches. Meet NYC’s real builders, dreamers, and doers in one room. Get ready to spark the connections that could change everything.
We know your inbox is full, your calendar is tighter than your sprint backlog, and “networking” often feels like a waste of time. So here’s the pitch:
Startup+ is not a conference, not a pitch competition, and not a VC panel.
It’s a room full of people in tech who are actually doing the work building products, shipping ideas, hiring teams, and asking hard questions about what’s next.We’ve opened up a few new slots for tomorrow's event. If you’ve been meaning to meet more people in NYC’s startup scene this is your moment.
What Makes This Different?
✅ Real Conversations. No pretenses, no ego. Everyone’s here to learn, share, and connect.
✅ Relevant People. Founders, designers, PMs, engineers, VCs, and early-stage operators. You’ll meet people working on things that matter—and some that are just plain weird (in a good way).
✅ Low Lift. High Value. No panels. No pitches. No pressure. Just great people and good energy in a venue that doesn’t feel like a hotel lobby.
What Makes This Different?
No fluff. No panels. No pressure. Just people you actually want to talk to.
✅ Founders with vision, traction, or something in between
✅ Product folks and engineers who love talking shop
✅ Designers with taste and curiosity
✅ VCs and angels who are actually listening
✅ Operators building in silence and ready to break out
If you’re tired of surface-level meetups and awkward “what do you do?” icebreakers, this is the opposite of that.
Details at a Glance
Event: Startup+ Tech Networking Event
Date: Thursday, August 7
Time: Doors open at 5:00 PM
Location: Sour Mouse, NYC (Lower East Side)
What to Expect:
People worth your time
Zero formalities
A packed, high-energy room
Come ready to talk about what you're building, or what's holding you back.
Who Should Come?
You’re building something early and need honest feedback.
You’re in tech but outside the “echo chamber” and want in-person convos.
You’re hiring, looking for a partner, or just hoping to find your next creative spark.
You’ve told yourself "I should meet more people in tech" at least once this month.
These are your people. This is your room. One night can open a lot of doors.
Why It’s Worth It
Last time, someone met a co-founder.
Someone else found a job.
A few started building something on the spot.
Most importantly: No one left saying it was a waste of time.
No one can promise luck. But we can promise the kind of energy and mix of people where luck is more likely to happen.
