Consumer Founders + Funders Happy Hour
Calling all Consumer Funders + Founders!
Come welcome in the springtime sunshine with others building and investing in Consumer for a casual happy hour in the Bay.
We are making a concerted effort to build community around those building in, investing in, and supporting the next generation of companies shaping how we as humans interact with the world, and reach our full potential.
