You’re not building alone—so why network like you are?
Finding the right co-founder can make—or break—your startup. Let’s talk about what actually makes a great co-founder relationship work.
Whether you’re actively searching for a collaborator or navigating an existing partnership, this event is designed to help founders explore the real dynamics behind co-founder relationships: the shared values, communication styles, conflict resolution, and trust-building that make the difference between thriving and barely surviving.
This is an evening for meaningful connection—not pitch decks, not small talk. This isn’t a typical mixer. It’s a gathering built around real conversations, shared experience, and co-founder chemistry—with tools, insights, and people who get it.
💬 What’s Happening
Welcome & Community Vibes Arrive, grab a drink, settle in. We’ll kick things off with casual networking and light refreshments.
Panel: The Co-Founder Experience Hear from founders and community builders as they unpack the highs, lows, and learnings of building in partnership. Moderated by Adam Goldstein (Sway), the conversation will feature Fauzan Maulana (Co-Founder of CoffeeSpace), Hesam Jafari (Co-Founder of Buzzable), and Josh Broward (Co-Founder of Wisdom Partners)—and you’ll be invited to jump in.
Breakout Sessions: Real Talk Get into small groups with guided prompts that go deeper than “what are you working on?” We’ll talk about what it really takes to find alignment, stay grounded, and support one another in the founder journey.
Closing Mixer Circle back with new connections, follow up on great convos, and hang out over one more bite or beverage.
👥 Who Should Come
