Startup Prom Night
💫 Startup Prom: Bring a Plus-One, Break a Silo
| 👗 Startup Soiree, with a Twist ⚡️
Startup Prom: Bring a founder partner/friend from another startup industry!
Here’s the twist:
You can’t come alone.
Everyone must bring a plus-one — even better if it's someone from outside your startup, your sector, or your comfort zone.
Romantic? Platonic? Chaotic? We don’t care — just make it unexpected.
🕺 What to Expect:
📸 Polaroid photobooth & unexpected duo awards
🪩 Live DJ + nostalgia-fuelled dancefloor
👑 Prom Royalty Voting
🍸 Private open bar & Canapes
💃 A room full of founders, operators, VCs & notables — the ones building what’s next
Attire:
This is a black-tie affair. Elegant gowns — hell, maybe you still have your prom dress?? — and bow ties encouraged (don't forget to tie them tighter than your startup budgets). This is not black-tie-dye or a Patagonia vest. Pick an outfit that screams "I'm the protagonist" cause tonight you are.
Bring:
Someone brilliant from outside your echo chamber
An open mind 🧠 💎
