Welcome to our special meetup edition of Founders, Funders, & Friends hosted by Studio Management, in partnership with Stanford Startups New York 🗽
This is a special edition in which we are inviting our friends from MIT,Harvard in Tech,etc for a fun cross-pollination!
We promise this is different than any sort of startup meetup you've been to before – we've spent time curating a gathering format where genuine connections happen over great food, without the awkward bill-splitting of traditional group dinners.
Using Studio Management's custom AI software, we’ll group guests based on the relevant details you’ve shared in your profile such as interests and background. Each group consists of 6-8 people who share common ground but bring their own unique perspectives!
How it works:
Act 1 - 6:30-7:00: Check-in & Happy Hour
Meet your matched group and others in a welcoming gathering space :)
Act 2 - 7:00-8:30: Group Dinner at the market
Share in curated conversation with your group while everyone chooses their ideal meal.
Act 3 - 8:30-9:30: Return to the meet up location for mixing
Meet back up for the broader gathering where dinner groups naturally mix and connections multiply!
🚨 Super important!🚨 The matching doesn’t work unless you fill out your profile by MIDNIGHT on Tuesday, 9/30. Group cut offs happen at this time.
⏰ Please remember your RSVP is a commitment to show up and be part of someone else's circle. Make sure to get there by 7 so you can have a full experience with your group!
🥘 Lastly, this event is free, but you will have to purchase your own meal and beverages.
