The Ground Floor

​First Wednesdays | 1-Minute Intros + Real Connection

​Looking to plug into Philly’s startup scene?
Got something in motion - or just starting to think out loud?

​The Ground Floor is our monthly First Wednesdays gathering for early-stage founders, operators, investors, and startup-adjacent leaders. It’s low-pressure and built for founders who are building something - even if you are still figuring out what.

​Here’s how it works:

• ​You show up.

• ​You’ve got 1 minute to say who you are and what you're working on.

• ​Then we network.

​This October, Philly's first Wednesday startup gathering gets a Halloween twist. Tell us your story or a startup tale that still gives you chills.

​Our September event featured 90 startup leaders registered with a record number of pitches.

​Whether you’re building, investing, hiring - or just here for the startup scaries - this is your floor.

​Come for the insight. Stay for the people.
First time? Perfect. We built this for you.
