It was an intimate event of about 10 founders, and marked the first of many planned upcoming events for 2023.
Guests enjoyed some dim sum and drinks, before heading to the conference room to share their founder stories. It kinda felt like group office hours at times.
It was a lot of fun and great to see the community come together to share advice, support, and stories.
