A lot of local "networking events" feel a little too much like a job interview for our liking.
That is: The networking events that even exist here in Pittsburgh!
This event is exactly what it sounds like: an (indoor!) picnic for founders, entrepreneurs, and local LinkedIn Lunatics to connect IRL, without presentations or forced small talk.
You're the target audience if you're:
→ A founder or entrepreneur building something
→ Active in the LinkedIn / online biz space
→ Someone who works closely with founders and wants in on the community
That being said:
If you're just curious about entrepreneurship or you've been wanting to meet more of Pittsburgh's business community in person, come through. This isn't a velvet-rope situation.
The vibe: Inside Avenu: Meyran, we'll move away all the chairs and tables and set things up like a real picnic! Just good conversation & no agenda. We'll have a few conversation starters on hand in case things get quiet, but mostly we just want you to talk to people you've only ever known as a profile picture.
The food & drinks: We're bringing a small charcuterie board and some non-alc drinks. It's BYOB if you want to bring your own something, just keep it low-key.
