What to Expect
More than a meetup
Every session is designed to leave you with something actionable — a new connection, a solved problem, or a perspective shift.
Honest Roundtables
Small-group discussions on real challenges — margins, retailers, cash flow, hiring. No pitching, no posturing.
Expert-Led Workshops
Hands-on sessions on topics like trade spend optimization, inventory planning, and fundraising prep.
Peer Introductions
Get matched with founders at a similar stage. Your next co-manufacturing contact or retail buyer intro might be in the room.
Monthly Cadence
One evening per month in Manhattan. Consistent enough to build real relationships, not just collect business cards.
