Circe Presents: Built to Last - An International Women's Day Party
✨ We're celebrating the official launch of Circe, and we want you there.
Expect an evening that feels less like a conference and more like walking into a room where everyone is brilliant, warm, and actually happy to be there.
All attendees will receive swag from our sponsors, 1 month of free Lovable credits, and many more surprises along the way!
The Evening
5:00 PM | Doors open. Signature cocktail, a few surprises, and someone to point you toward exactly who you should meet.
6:15 PM | A short welcome from us and an intro to Circe — who we are and why we built this.
6:30 PM | Keynote. An intimate conversation with a founder on building, decision-making, and the stuff people don't usually say out loud.
7:15 PM | The rest of the night is yours. Float between our activation rooms and keep connecting — your next LP, angel, cofounder, or new bestie might be in the next room.
Activation Rooms
We’re taking over the space with intimate, themed rooms you can float in and out of:
Under the Hood of a Startup
Legal, back office, banking, and the unsexy foundations that keep companies alive. Incorporation to term sheet without the fluff.Building Your Personal Brand
Brand, storytelling, investor updates, and distribution: practical ways to make sure the right people know who you are and what you’re building.Burnout, Boundaries & Staying Human
Wellness, face masks, nervous system regulation, products and practices for founders and operators who don’t want to be martyrs.Nothing is Off-Limits: Co‑Founder & Leadership Therapy
A private room with a startup coach for the conversations you cannot have on Twitter. Real dynamics, real stuck points, real advice.
Dress code: Power, but make it fun. Think “if my 22‑year‑old self saw me walk into this room, she’d be obsessed.”
About Circe
Circe is a curated community connecting women founders, investors, and operators in the Bay Area. We’re building the connective tissue between these groups & creating a space where capital, talent, and insight circulate intentionally.
Founders gain access to aligned capital and early talent.
Investors gain trusted deal flow and real operator perspective.
Operators unlock meaningful access, upside, and entry points into startups and angel investing.
Rather than open networking, we prioritize thoughtful introductions, high-trust conversations, and context that carries forward beyond a single event. The goal is relationships that compound.
If you’re actively building or backing and this sounds like your crowd, you’re in the right place.
We are keeping this intentionally intimate. Apply to attend, and we’ll curate the room.
