FC NYC • Panel Chat

​Hey, it's Damian & Brian!

​We're a couple of founders who couldn't find the startup community we wanted two years ago – one that brought together real startup friends away from the chaos of startups. So we built it ourselves. We host private events for our members (just like this one) all the time. If you’re curious to learn more about us, read this.

​Join us for a special, member-only happy hour turned panel conversation with a few top voices in the startup world. We’re almost done nailing down the details, but prior panels have been on (and included) the future of content marketing (ft. Ari Cagan & John Hammond) and building a 100K+ community (ft. Sugary & DK Kim).

​Details

• ​Date: July 31st, 2025

• ​Happy Hour: 6:30PM ET

• ​Panel: 7:30-9:30PM ET

• ​​Location: TBD

​We’re almost done nailing down the details, so stay tuned for updates to this event as they happen!
​
What to Expect

• ​Private 1:1 time with top voices in startups *

• ​​Exclusive seat in a small, intimate group

• ​​Live Q&A opportunity to ask questions

• ​Great conversations with top builders

• ​​New friends across the early-stage startup world

​* Members only.

​​Like all of our events, these conversations are small by design (this event will be capped at just 30 attendees) to allow for more personal conversations and funner experiences. As an attendee, you’ll be part of a small group of other top builders listening to a group of top voices in the startup world chatting about a pressing, hot-button startup topic.
​
FAQ: Our pre-panel happy hour is open to FC members only. Our panel chat is open to guests of the community via waitlist if space allows. Joining the waitlist means you may be selected if we have extra spots, but does not guarantee entry. Your name must be on the approved guest list to attend. ​
