⚡ IRL or Nothing: A Meetup for People Building Human Connection in the Age of AI - in partnership with organisers @Resortpass and @WomenintechorgUK
NYC Tech Week · Founders · Investors · Builders
We’re in a strange moment. AI is everywhere. Screens are smarter. And somehow, people have never felt more alone.
If you’re building apps that get people off their phones and into the same room, that use technology as a bridge not a barrier, that believe proximity, serendipity, and real human chemistry still matter — this is your people.
We’re bringing together IRL social founders, investors, and innovators for an evening of honest conversation, big ideas, and the kind of connections you can’t make in a DM.
Expect a breakout session, expect good chat, expect to meet someone who’s grappling with the exact same thing you are.
What you’ll discuss:
• What’s actually broken about social media — and what IRL apps can fix
• Building for human connection in a world that keeps optimising for engagement
• The investor lens: where does this space go from here?
• Living the mission: how do you build community when community itself is the product?
This isn’t a pitch night. This isn’t a networking event where you collect business cards and forget everyone’s names. It’s a room full of people who genuinely believe the next great shift in tech isn’t about making AI smarter — it’s about making humans closer.
Come ready to talk. Come ready to listen. Come ready to leave with at least one person you actually want to stay in touch with.
Capacity is intentionally small. RSVP if this is your thing. 🧡
