Show up where founders already gather
We bring the right founders into the room, handle the heavy lifting, and make sure your brand is part of the story long after the night is over.
No background noise. No drowning in logos.
Who we’re in cahoots with
Results-driven partnerships where everybody wins
We don't just advertise, we co-create the spaces founders love
Startup founders are tired of the dull, uninspiring event formats and workspaces that plague the start-up ecosystem. They crave connection during the build but they're deprived of it.
We believe the builders of the future deserve more, so we've given them something new. Spaces to connect, build, rest, play, and grow. Where they can plug into the grind and get s**t done, and plug out to recharge.
And we're opening it up to partners who want in on the story - not from the sidelines, but right in the mix.
Community led growth done right
Low ROI event sponsorships and logo graveyards are dead.
Our partnerships approach is integrated.
Community
Vetted founders building meaningful companies. Co-working by day, socials and problem-solving by night.
Events
Intimate fireside chats to 500-person competitions. Hackathons, labs, residentials. Spaces where real connections happen.
Content

Partnership FAQs
-
Partnerships are bespoke—built around your budget and the mix of events you choose to sponsor. No cookie-cutter packages, just what makes sense for your goals.
-
Depends on your goals. We've helped partners drive qualified founder sign-ups, fill their pipeline, and grow awareness with content that lives on long after the event. We'll agree success metrics up front so there's no guesswork.
-
SaaS tools, service providers (legal, accounting, hiring), VCs, and ecosystem builders. Basically: anyone serious about helping founders win.
-
Nope. We don't do logo graveyards. Partnerships are hands-on collabs where your brand adds value to the founder experience.
-
You can dip your toe with a single event, or go all-in with a multi-event partnership. Most partners stay longer once they see the impact.
-
We post across Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, plus our newsletter (nearly 5k subs). That means your brand shows up in the room and across the channels founders actually scroll.
-
We do. From planning to speakers to production to post-event wrap-up, we take care of the heavy lifting. You just show up and plug in.
-
We track attendance, engagement, leads, and content performance—then wrap it into a clear report so you know what landed.
