Seamate Crazy Thursday: 2025 Founder Retro & Mixer with an NYSE IPO Co-Founder to learn how to build from 0 to IPO
Another Thursday, another week of shipping. 🚢 Join us for the final, most epic Crazy Thursday of 2025!
We're gathering the local founder community to wrap up the year with honest reflection, cold beer, and essential fried chicken.
Forget stiff networking, name tags, and lukewarm pizza. This is a casual hang for founders, builders, and product folks to decompress, trade genuine war stories, and look back on what 2025 actually looked like—before the holiday craziness kicks in.
The Main Event: Keynote Revelation!
Get ready for an unparalleled session focused on scaling success.
🎤 Special Keynote: "Unlocking Exponential Growth: Insights from 0 to IPO"
We are thrilled (and highly secretive) to announce a Special Guest Speaker who will share the definitive playbook for massive growth:
The COO & Co-Founder of a Landmark NYSE IPO Company
(Their identity will be revealed live at the event!)
🎙️ The Open Mic: 5 Minutes, No Pitches
The mic is yours. You get 5 minutes to share whatever is top of mind for your year. This isn't about selling—it’s about sharing real experiences and year-end takeaways:
🏆 The Wins: What did you ship this year that you’re genuinely proud of?
📉 The Retrospective: What didn’t go as planned? A product that didn't land, a pivot that hurt, or an unexpected lesson.
💡 The Alpha: A game-changing tool, a workflow that worked, or a bold take on where AI, agents, and building-in-public are heading in 2026.
🍗 The Vibe (It Is Crazy Thursday, After All)
Food: Serious Fried Chicken (mandatory).
Drinks: Cold Beer & non-alcoholic options on us.
Who: Founders, Hackers, and Product Leaders ready to talk shop.
Come for the chicken, stay for the shared war stories, the wins, and the insights from a founder who made it to the NYSE.
See you Thursday afternoon.
