Rejuvenate Post-SXSW with Intentional Connection
Does your SXSW feel like a blur of people and parties?
Do you wish you could capture the top 3 or 4 people who actually move the needle for your purpose-driven startup or fund?
Do you want to feel connected in an ongoing way POST the madness of the festival?
Do not fear, the Purpose-Driven network and Yorkseed are here!
Join us for a nourishing evening of pre-vetted, curated connection, and deep conversations on how to anchor yourself in intentional community. This event is for early stage founders, investors, and thought leaders interested in creating a new paradigm for your industry and humanity.
We can only take 26 people, so we'll try to create a 50/50 mix of founders and investors. All will be pre-vetted for values-alignment.
Doors will close at 5:20pm, no exceptions.
