Inside: South Park Commons

​South Park Commons is a community of builders & technologists that specializes in helping founders build conviction in an idea - or as they put it "moving from -1 to 0." They believe that good ideas rarely emerge in isolation. As an "anti-incubator," South Park Commons provides a safe space that encourages judgment-free exploration and the development of new ideas.

​In this talk, we'll hear from Arian Agrawal (Partner) and Dylan Itzikowitz (Principal) on their unique approach to investing in founders and where they see the biggest opportunities.

​After the talk, we'll host a networking reception with light food and beverages.
