Organizer’s description

You've been running the idea past AI. AI has never once told you it wouldn't work. Tonight you get a room that will. Five founders, five minutes each, American Whiskey - Midtown in New York. Wednesday. Three reasons people come back: You get a table, not a lap of the room. You pick a topic the room voted on and stay there for the hour, instead of wandering with a drink looking for a gap in somebody else's conversation. You get a stage short enough to be honest. Five minutes each, no slides read out loud, then the room asks questions. The questions are the good part. You get the hour after. The stage ends, nobody's performing any more, and the floor stays open. That's the hour people actually remember. Your ticket is also a login: Most events end when you walk out. This one hands you a link: your profile, who else is coming before you get there, a group chat for this specific Wednesday, and a recap afterwards of who you actually met. Then you land in the New York space and stay there. That's where the second conversation happens, the one you meant to have before the room got loud. Free with your ticket, on the web or in Telegram: ascentvalley.com/community Is this your room? Yes, if you're building something, anywhere from the first line of code to Series A. Or you run a function at a company that's scaling, write the code, do the hiring, or you're still deciding whether to start. Probably not, if what you're picturing is a room full of investors.
