Hi Queer Tech IRL community,

I’m excited to share our next event, co-hosted with J.P. Morgan, Holland & Knight, and Build Momentum, and open to the entire early-stage startup community.

Last year we launched with a bang and hosted a series of fun nights that brought together LGBTQ+ founders, builders, and investors. One piece of feedback I kept hearing was the desire for more targeted, content-specific experiences, the kind that helps founders with what’s most top-of-mind while building (especially heading into a raise).

As a founder and builder, I know the pre-raise moment can be intense, and how much smoother things go when you have real experts in your corner across finance, legal, and product. That’s exactly what we designed this night for.

Building Fast Without Breaking Things
Tuesday, Jan 27 | 5:30–8:00pm | The KINN (Venice, LA)

Hope to see you next week,
Michael
