The Ground Floor

​First Wednesdays | 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 First Wednesdays 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.
