AI Builders x Founders: Matchmaking Night #NYTechWeek
Pioneering Minds AI: AI Founder Matchmaking Night
Meet your co-founder. Join a founding team. Start building.
Team is what makes or breaks a startup.
Most great startups don’t fail because of ideas. They fail because the team wasn’t right. The tema lacks chemistry, conviction, loyalty, and time is too costly for startups to mess around and find out.
This night is about one thing: finding the right people to build with. Explore the tech talents that New York has to offer
This is not another networking event. This is a structured, high-signal room designed to help founders and builders actually find the people they can build with.
Whether you’re:
A founder looking for your first engineer, operator, or early team
Looking for a co-founder
A builder looking to join something meaningful early
Or someone exploring ideas but ready to commit when it clicks
What makes this different
We’ve designed the format to remove randomness and maximize real connection.
Curated room: ~40 high-intent participants (founders + builders)
Structured matching rounds: No awkward mingling but focused conversations
Signal over noise: You’ll meet multiple potential collaborators in under an hour
Designed prompts: Conversations that go beyond “what do you do?”
You won’t leave with a stack of LinkedIn connections that you may or may not stay in touch with. You’ll leave knowing who you’d actually build with.
