Slides Down: AI Founders Party by DigitalOcean & Zendesk
Winter cohorts are wrapping. Demo days are done. You survived. One night to actually exhale before you're back to the grind, come hang.
DigitalOcean and Zendesk are throwing a proper celebration for the SF startup community.
Founders fresh off Y Combinator, a16z speedrun, Techstars, and beyond, this one's for you.
Here's what's waiting:
Arcade games. Free food and drinks. And yes, a full donut bar, because you earned it.
No keynotes. No pitch sessions. No one reviewing your deck. Just good people, good energy, and good chats.
If you've been locked in since January, this is your permission slip to come up for air for one night. The grind will be there tomorrow. Tonight, we celebrate.
Grab your spot. Capacity is limited and the room fills fast.
