Scout Screener: The Odyssey
What is this?
Think of it as a book club, but for movies.
Every month we'll watch a movie that touches on startups, technology, or ambition, then grab drinks before and after with other founders and builders. It's a chill way to make a few friends while talking about something other than fundraising or Claude Code.
Why are we doing this?
Most startup events revolve around pitching, fundraising, or networking. We wanted an excuse to talk about the bigger questions: how technology and startups shape society and how building them shapes us.
We pick a relevant movie each month and discuss it with others who are also creating the future.
What to expect?
Come join us early at Village East to meet other folks. If you like, afterward we'll go to a bar to keep the conversation going over drinks.
What movie are we watching?
July's selection is The Odyssey.
Building a company is often described as a ten-year journey, and Odysseus' voyage home raises questions that every founder wrestles with: What makes a journey worth taking? What do you sacrifice along the way? And how does the journey change you and those around you?
Also, Christopher Nolan built a custom IMAX camera for this movie, which is exactly the kind of obsessive craftsmanship we appreciate.
No preparation required. Just show up, enjoy the movie, and join the conversation afterward.
How will I get my ticket?
We will text your ticket in advance.
