Founders Cohort - 🍜Chinatown Cheap Eats Food Crawl – Post Lunar New Year Social
Join us for a fun, casual food crawl through Chinatown to celebrate the New Year and connect with other founders and builders.
Forget networking events—this is about good food, great conversation, and building genuine connections. We’ll visit some of Chinatown’s best hidden gems for affordable eats, chat and learn from each other, share stories, and get to know each other outside of the usual work setting.
🔹 Explore Chinatown’s best cheap eats—we’ll hit several spots for authentic, delicious food
🔹 Casual, relaxed atmosphere—focus on connecting by sharing a delicious experience, not small talk
🔹 Meet like-minded founders—a chance to bond over shared experiences, challenges, and successes
This event is a chance to connect over something simple—good food and great company—while taking advantage of everything NYC has to offer. It’s an opportunity to bond as founders and strengthen our community of builders, all while embracing the city as our campus for inspiration, innovation, and growth.
📍 We'll blast out our locations if you need to join us after the event begins.
👥 About Cohort – A Community for Builders
Cohort is a new community of founders and builders focused on a SF like builder first community culture for founders, instead of the NYC hustle and networking culture.
NYC has some of the most ambitious people in the world, but too often, the startup scene feels transactional. The best founder ecosystems emerge when people build together, challenge each other, and create momentum as a group.
As Paul Graham wrote:
“Ambitious people are rare… when you take people like this and put them together with other ambitious people, they bloom like dying plants given water.”
We’re building an environment where founders work side by side, form real relationships, and accelerate each other’s progress.
We host weekly coworking sessions—focused, productive time to work alongside others—and also create social events like this one. Our events are designed to foster deeper conversations, shared learning, and authentic connections, moving beyond traditional networking to build a true community of builders.
If this resonates with you, join us. Let’s build together.
