Hard Tech Builders Dinner
Hard tech is difficult. You shouldn’t build it alone.
Join us for a small Hard Tech Happy Hour dinner with founders, engineers, scientists, researchers, and early builders working on physical-world technology.
This is not a pitch event.
It is a casual dinner for people building, exploring, prototyping, commercializing research, or working through the messy middle of hard tech.
The goal is simple: create a space for useful conversations between people who understand the realities of building in the physical world — technical risk, prototypes, pilots, manufacturing, long timelines, capital, customers, and everything in between.
This dinner is a good fit if you are working on or near:
hardware
robotics
manufacturing
sensing
photonics
climate or energy systems
medical devices
advanced materials
quantum
embedded systems
scientific instrumentation
research commercialization
or another technology that needs a lab, prototype, pilot, or production process
Important note:
Capacity is limited so we can keep the dinner small and conversational. This is a pay-your-own-way event, and each attendee will be responsible for their own food and drinks.
Please only RSVP if you are likely able to attend. If your plans change, kindly update your RSVP so someone else can take the spot.
