PITCHGIVING: The anti-holiday meetup + demo day
Sticking around SF for Thanksgiving? Same.
So to celebrate the launch of Syft, we’re turning Homebrew into an alt-Thanksgiving meetup for founders, hackers, and anyone spending the holiday week in the city. With coffee, snacks, and an open mic, we’ll have three hours of rapid-fire demos, unfiltered hot takes, rogue pitches, and the kind of networking that doesn’t feel like networking.
⚡ Lightning Talks (5 minutes, no rules)
Show off what you’re building. Pitch something half-baked. Demo something weird. Drop a spicy opinion. Or just entertain us.
🤝 Builders Only
People who ship > people who talk. Expect founders, PMs, engineers, indie hackers, and that friend who quit their job last week to “finally build something.”
☕ Caffeine + snacks
We keep you wired. The rest is up to you.
📢 Want to pitch?
Apply for a speaker ticket instead of general attendance and tell us about what you’re planning to talk about.
📍 Homebrew Club, San Francisco
🗓 Nov 26, 2025 | 5-8 PM
🎟 Free | ~50 spots (so don’t drag your feet)
No family drama, no turkey hangover. Just good people, good ideas, and a space to show what you’re building before everyone disappears for the long weekend.
Come pitch. Come demo. Come hang with the Thanksgiving-week diehards.
