​Philly's first Wednesday startup experience.

​1-Minute Intros + Real Connection

​We’re welcoming 2027 with a Ground Floor New Year Bash & Demo Day. Come network, meet new people, see what they’ve been working on, and share what’s next.

​Here’s how it works:

• ​You show up.

• ​You’ve got 1 minute to say who you are and what you're working on.

• ​Then we connect.

• ​Need help with something? Join the roundtable.

​The Ground Floor is our monthly gathering for early-stage founders, operators, investors, and startup-adjacent leaders. It’s low-pressure and built for founders who are building something, even if you’re still figuring out what.

​Being a founder can be lonely.
Come find your people. Stay for the insights.
First time? Perfect. We built this for you.
