You're not waiting for permission to build something. This night is for you. The best builders we know didn't wait to get started either. They got in the room early, asked hard questions, and figured it out as they went. Some founded companies. Some joined early. Some bet on a role where they could build at scale. Each path looks different — and when you're early in your career, it's hard to get an unfiltered view of what any of them actually involve. This is that room. This is a night to hear real stories and pressure-test your own thinking with people who've done it. Featured Speakers Veeral Patel, Director of Engineering at Ramp — founding engineer at Workflow HQ (acquired by Apple), now leading Core Engineering and Applied AI. Ian Tracey, Senior Staff Software Engineer at Ramp — co-founder of Turntable (YC W23), former Tech Lead at Stripe, and founder of Hack Arizona. Katon Luaces, Co-Founder & CEO at PointOne — former software engineer at Applied Intuition (autonomous vehicles) and Google; co-founded PointOne (YC) to automate time tracking for law firms. Eugen Alpeza, Co-Founder & CEO at Edra — spent seven years at Palantir leading U.S. commercial GTM and launching the Palantir AI Platform; co-founded Edra ($30M Series A from Sequoia) to give AI agents enterprise context at scale. Akash Raju, Co-Founder & CEO at Glimpse — former software engineer at Tesla and Microsoft; co-founded Glimpse (YC, Forbes 30 Under 30) to build AI tools for CPG and retail. 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.
