The Ground Floor
1-Minute Intros + Real Connection
Looking to plug into Philly’s startup scene? Got something in motion - or just starting to think out loud?
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.
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.
Come for the insight. Stay for the people.
First time? Perfect. We built this for you.
