About Event

Something a little different this month.

Instead of our usual six-founder showcase, Ivor Stratford is sitting down for a fireside chat with the founder of one of the hottest companies in tech right now. We're not announcing who yet — but when we do, you'll understand why we kept it quiet. (You will be amazed.)

This is a real conversation, not a panel and not a pitch. What it actually took to build the company, what almost broke, what they're building next, and the roles they're hiring for right now. Followed by a mixer with the room.

What to expect: One founder, one honest conversation, and a room of operators, builders, and executives who've seen what good looks like. Hosted at Datadog.

Who this is for: Exceptional operators — whether you're actively exploring your next role, casually curious, or just want to stay close to what's being built in NYC.

This one is especially curated and the room is small. RSVP now, and refer your most cracked friends — the best rooms are the ones you help build.

Guest announced in the days leading up. 👀

See you at Datadog, September 30.
