Smoke Signals: Rooftop BBQ for Founders & Funders
We’re celebrating (almost) end of the summer with Smoke Signals - a rooftop BBQ for founders and funders who’ve got a few stories to share and a few things to grill.
This members-priority, invite-only evening brings together an intentional mix of bold founders (Seed to Series B) and curious capital partners for a sunset of smoked eats, short confessions, and sparks of insight.
You’ll hear 3-minute lightning talks on:
Smoke & Mirrors — the myths, illusions & self-deceptions founders believed early on
Founders on Fire — unfiltered stories of bold pivots, close calls & late wins
Behind the No — Investors open up about the real thinking behind the word every founder hears most.. A rare look at the other side of the table.
This is for founders and funders who prefer firelight over spotlight.
Priority will be given to:
Official Members
Seed to Series B founders
Investors and our selected Partners

Note to attendees on late arrivals:
At sclr labs, we run on respect.
For the speakers. For the founders who show up early. For the momentum in the room.
When we say doors close when the formal session begins — we mean it. Not because we’re harsh, but because we’re serious. Latecomers miss context. Break flow. Disrupt the energy.
Build your schedule like you’re building your company — with intent. We’re building a culture of momentum. Be early, be sharp, or be out.
We'd love to see you there there!
