Summer's End Soirée
Ready to wrap up the summer with meaningful connections and celebrate your wins at this official Startup Boston Week Side Event?
🚀Join us for an evening designed specifically for the startup community to build authentic relationships, share knowledge, and showcase what you've accomplished this season.
✨ This is a curated experience where founders, operators, and startup enthusiasts can genuinely connect over real challenges and celebrate real victories.
🗓️ Event Agenda
11AM — Arrival and Yapping
Bring a dish to share and settle into the space with casual mingling. Color-coded name-tags will offer you a starting point to meet the people you'd like to level-up with!
11:30PM — Problem/\Solution Speed Dating
Pair up with peers and present real startup challenges and brainstorm solutions with each other. Swap at the end of your two minutes and offer support for your pair. You'll be designated pairs beforehand in relevant industry/experiences you indicate.
12PM — Community Feast
Enjoy the potluck spread and continue conversations from speed dating.
12:30PM — Blanket Fireside Chats (TBA 👀)
Join intimate discussion circles on different startup themes (think cozy campfire vibes, but for business). There will be 2 blankets set up for a 45-minute chat, feel free to bounce between the two or stay at one the whole time.
1:15PM — Open Relationship Building
End the afternoon with continuing conversations and set-up 1-1 follow-ups!
💼 Bonus Activity: Summer Wins Board Station
Throughout the event, you'll have the opportunity to share 1 thing you accomplished this summer + 1 way you can help others on an index card. Participants can respond on your index card or contact you directly.
🎉 Whether you need advice on your idea, closed your first customers, or survived your biggest pivot yet – this is your time to celebrate, learn, and connect with people who can survive the "Here's what I learned about B2B sales..." opening.
What to bring: A dish for the potluck, your summer wins story, and one way you can help a fellow founder succeed.
