San Francisco Marketplace Meetup (at AngelList)
Want to meet other marketplace founders, teams, & investors in San Francisco? Join us for a meetup on October 20 from 5:30pm-7:30pm at AngelList. Note that this is going to be a curated meetup during the RAISE Conference, with later-stage marketplace founders and investors also joining. We’ll be having small bites & drinks, so be sure to stop by to meet others, chat about marketplaces, and have a good time. A confirmed RSVP is required to attend and +1’s will not be permitted without approval.
Please note that a confirmed RSVP is required to attend. There is a capacity for the meetup, so all community member RSVPs will be approved in the community first (community RSVP here). If you RSVPd in the community, you do not need to do so here to attend.
