NYTW Opening Event
For one afternoon during NYTW, we're opening the doors
This private NYC studio has hosted major artists, notable figures, and high-signal rooms across culture, media, and business: Gary Vee, David Haber (a16z), French Montana, Pop Smoke, Busta Rhymes, Cardi B, Anderson Paak, former Mayor Eric Adams
Come see the space, meet the people around it, and get a feel for the kinds of podcasts, screenings, workshops, private gatherings, and events it can hold
We’re inviting founders, operators, investors, creatives, and professionals across tech, finance, and media to step inside inside IMI Studios, the legendary Lower East Side recording space where culture gets recorded, not where meetings go to die.
This is not a generic open house. It is a produced room built around a simple idea:
attention is everything — but attention without conversion is just noise.
That’s why this room combines two worlds that almost never show up together at a high level:
Juné is an operator and growth architect with a decade spent building software. Juné has managed dozens of clients with real receipts, derived from practice and reinforced by results, not theory. He has used GTM strategy to profitably bootstrap new brands. Each event he hosts is build to curate intentional groups and atmospheres for incentivizing better judgements, principles, and decision-making.
Celia Davis is a community builder, founder, and educator with a passion to build compassion and community in the tech space. She is the Founder and CEO of ConnNext but in her spare time still has a passion for tutoring students and providing consultations for early-stage founders helping them with product validation and public speaking.
