​NO WALKINS OR PLUS ONES EXCEPT THOSE WHO REGISTER AND ARE APPROVED!!! WE EXPECT TO BE FULL.

​----------

​Come Socialize With Fellow Founders & Investors - a TechCrunch Disrupt afterparty

β€‹πŸ‘‹ What is this?
The premier Official TechCrunch Afterparty, bringing tech founders and investors together. Attendees can buy their own food or drink if they wish (optional).

β€‹πŸš« Everyone is welcome to register, but only those approved may attend. Approved guests will receive an email saying they’ve been approved and will find a QR code ticket in Luma. Anyone without will be turned away at the door, no exceptions, and no plus 1’s. Everyone who attends must register and be approved. This is to keep the event to only those founders and investors who meet the criteria.

β€‹πŸ’ Why come?

  • ​Find your next investment or investor

  • ​Make friends and future referrers or partners

  • ​Have fun and enjoy a night off

β€‹πŸ“Œ Where is it?
Hawthorn Nightclub - must have valid ID and be legal drinking age to attend.

β€‹πŸ” Who is this event best suited for?

  • ​Seed & Series A Founders in B2B Software, Marketplaces or Consumer (pre-seed is fine with strong traction)

  • ​VC Partners and Angels who invest in the above

  • ​Note that this event is extremely popular and due to capacity limits we are only able to take the most competitive registrations. See the funds who are RSVP'd and the profiles of founders attending here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BSz3HB8hkd3_wkb1jRBBE0u5-MIQZ9EnNu1UyQB0ptI/edit?usp=sharing

  • ​Unlike events that are optimized for fun, this event is specifically for networking - pitching investors and finding promising founders. That said, it's going to be awesome, and you'll have a great time too.

​We personally review each applicant using LinkedIn, websites, AngelList, Crunchbase, web traffic, mutual connections, and other sources, etc.

​This ensures high-caliber attendees. See past examples of events here, and here.

​New to this event: We have volunteers on site who will be facilitating introductions to funds who attend between them and founders who match their thesis.
