“connect first, connections later”
March 26, 2022 @ 3pm
Budman Studio, Venice, CA
tech / startup / investor focused
Join us for an afternoon in Venice with other tech, startup, & investor peers where we flip the script on traditional networking events by focusing on the human connection before we make the professional introductions.
Participate in a series of interactive experiences and workshops without the work talk, then stick around for socializing over music and (free) drinks where you can make the professional connection.
This will be a 2 to 3 hour experience where we ask those who commit to show up at the beginning.
Who will be there?
This event is intended for experienced professionals in the tech, startup, and investing ecosystem.
Most of the attendees will have a minimum of 5 years professional experience. Groups who attended our previous anti-networking event include:
Founders of tech, CPG, and other companies
VC Investors and employees
Creative entrepreneurs
High performing individuals at tech and startups
