Arben Ventures: Deep Tech Happy Hour
Arben Ventures x Crush it Ventures: Deep Tech Happy Hour
Founders × Investors × The Future of Health
✨ An evening for unusually interesting people building what’s next
Together with CrushIt Ventures we are bringing together a curated group of NYC founders, investors, scientists, technologists, creators, artists, and operators for an intimate evening designed to supercharge our creativity and accelerate our shared goal of creating a better future of health for all.
No small talk. No awkward intros.
Instead: rapid collisions between smart people, new ideas, emerging technology, art, music, and experiences that give people a reason to actually engage with one another.
🎉 THE EXPERIENCE
🥂 6:00–6:30 · Arrive + Explore
Drinks, light refreshments, live music, and a small showcase of emerging health technologies from founders in the Arben ecosystem.
⚡ 6:30–6:50 · Lightning Pitches
A handful of exceptional founders get 3 minutes each: What are you building? Why should it exist? What do you need?
🤝 6:50–7:30 · Curated Relational Experience
Ben Rolnik will guide an exercise for deep connection to learn about the people around us and their stories in small groups pairing founders, investors, scientists, and operators who otherwise might never meet.
🧪 7:30–8:00 · The Playground
Guests move freely between interactive corners, mini-workshops, and experiments, including:
💡 Ask / Offer Wall — write down the one thing you need and the one thing you can give.
🧠 Impossible Problems — small groups take on provocative scientific, technological, or entrepreneurial questions.
🎯 Founder Office Hours — rapid-fire feedback from investors and experienced operators.
🚀 Future Tech Showcase — things you can touch, wear, try, or experience before they become mainstream.
🎶 8:00–8:30 · Open Salon
Music, drinks, demos, and unstructured conversation once everyone already knows one another.
Come meet the people building, investing in, and shaping the future of health — and leave with a few new people worth knowing.
