July Tech Rooftop Mixer

Welcome to Founders & Friends Second third tech mixer of the season! Join our monthly gathering for SF’s most ambitious founders, investors, tech professionals — and everyone in their orbit. What is this? 200 of SF's most ambitious founders, operators, and investors. Sunset views. Real conversations. No fluff. Who's coming? Seasoned founders, investors, and operators — alongside the people still working up the nerve to start. Ambitious students with ideas, hackathon winners, creators, builders. The ones who haven't launched yet but probably should. This is a space where the gap between "I have an idea" and "I'm building a company" gets a lot smaller. Other industries welcome too. Come to fundraise. Come to hire. Come to find your co-founder. Or just come to be around people who make you feel like what you're building is actually possible. Meet the Organizer — Founders & Friends Founders and Friends was born from a feeling most builders know too well. You have an idea. A real one. You start working on it alone, hit a wall, and stop. Then months later, you watch someone else build it — someone with more resources, more connections, more proximity to the right people. That's not a talent gap. That's an access gap. Founders and Friends exists to close it. We bring together people with ideas and people who have cracked the code — the students crushing hackathons, early stage founders, operators, creators, investors, and seasoned entrepreneurs — in the same room, creating the kind of collisions that open doors and change trajectories. Curated experiences designed to spark relationships between people who can move each other forward. Because the best ideas don't die from lack of talent. They die from lack of proximity. We're building the community we all wish we had. Meet the Organizer — Founder Social Club Founder Social Club is a curated community designed to eliminate the loneliness of building a startup by bringing founders together through meaningful, high-quality connections. It combines intimate in-person gatherings, curated dinners, and virtual sessions with founders, investors, and operators—creating a space for honest conversations, shared experiences, and real relationships. Focused on depth over scale, it offers founders access to peer support, insider knowledge, and a trusted network that grows alongside them.
