In-person experiences
From founder Meetups to Jazba Bazaar and retailer Pitch Opportunities, we host in-person experiences that bring founders into the same room. These moments are designed to spark connection, encourage collaboration, and strengthen the community beyond digital interactions.
Upcoming Events
We’re taking on NEW YORK CITY!
Save the date for our next Founder Meetup, happening in Brooklyn, NYC. We’re bringing together founders, operators, and builders for an evening of focused conversations and meaningful connections.
Expect honest discussions, shared experiences, and a room full of people who are actively building. This isn’t a panel or a pitch event. It’s a space to connect, exchange ideas, and grow your network with intent.
