Lunch will be provided

We’re bringing together the brightest minds in the startup scene for an intimate lunch in the heart of SoHo, New York. Your hosts, C.C. Gong (Menlo Ventures), Rolanda Fu (Madrona Ventures), Maddy Gaiman (Amex Ventures), Alex Pavlou (Bamboo X), and Annie Garofalo (Confidante), will curate an environment where you can dive deep, enjoy great food, and forge meaningful connections. This isn’t your typical networking event. Expect candid conversations, valuable insights, and the opportunity to learn directly from fellow founders and investors. Whether you’re seeking advice, potential partners, or just a fresh perspective, this lunch is designed to inspire and connect. We will be hand-selecting 30 special guests to join this exclusive lunch experience, optimizing for representation across the entrepreneurial ecosystem (founders, investors, Pre-Seed through Series C, across industries). Please apply only if you’re able to attend and be fully present! Learn more about the co-hosts: • Menlo Ventures (menlovc.com): Investing in the boldest entrepreneurs reshaping the future. • Madrona Ventures (madrona.com): Partnering with visionary early & early growth founders from day one for the long run. • Amex Ventures (amexventures.com): VC arm of American Express, offers the resources of a global services company paired with the experience of a leading venture fund. • Confidante (confidante.info): 65% of high-potential startups fail due to preventable conflict among co-founders. Start the conversations early to protect your founding team and company. • Bamboo X (bamboo-x.com) is a New York Technical & Design Recruiting Partner to the Innovation Ecosystem. We hire world-class talent for disruptive startups building what's next. If you have any questions, please email annie@confidante.info. We can’t wait to see you there! This event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
