Product-market fit with Rob Snyder 🍻 Rob Snyder spent two years struggling to find product-market fit. After a last-minute pivot, his startup went from $0 to $4M in annual recurring revenue in the next two years. If you’re doing demo after demo, following up endlessly and still struggling to close, how do you know whether to change your pitch, your product or who you’re selling to? Join Founders on Tap for a workshop with Rob Snyder, founder, product-market fit advisor and author of The Power of PULL. Using his push vs. pull framework, we’ll explore why some sales take constant convincing, how to find customers with a reason to buy now and how to build around what they’re already trying to accomplish. We’ll get into: Why someone can have a problem, like your solution and still never buy. How to spot real demand in customer conversations. What makes your product a priority instead of a “maybe later.” How to turn one customer’s success into something you can repeat. For founders looking for their first paying customers or wondering why every new sale still feels so hard. Bring your questions about your own startup for the Q&A, grab a drink and meet other founders figuring it out alongside you. About the speaker Rob Snyder is a founder, product-market fit advisor and author of The Power of PULL. He grew his first startup from $0 to $4M in annual recurring revenue in two years and developed the PULL framework to help founders understand what makes customers buy. His work focuses on finding real customer demand and using early sales to figure out what a startup can sell repeatedly. What should I expect? 6:30–7:00 PM Arrive, grab a drink and meet a few founders. 7:00–7:45 PM Workshop with Rob Snyder. 7:45–8:05 PM Q&A.

Your pitch deck doesn't need another round of polite feedback. It needs a proper examination. Deck Doctors is back. Join Boston New Technology and Startup Grind Boston for a hands-on session built around one simple idea: founders get better when they can put real work in front of experienced people, hear what is and isn't working, and improve it. Bring your pitch deck — finished, unfinished, or somewhere in between. We'll work through real founder decks together and look at: • Is the problem immediately clear? • Does the story make sense from slide to slide? • Is the value proposition compelling? • Are the market, traction, and business model communicated effectively? • Where does the audience lose the thread? • What is missing, unnecessary, or getting in the way? • What would make the deck stronger before the next investor, customer, partner, or competition? This isn't a pitch competition, and your deck doesn't need to be perfect. The point is to diagnose what isn't working, understand why, and leave with practical feedback you can actually use. Founders who aren't presenting are equally welcome. Watching other decks get examined — and participating in the conversation — can be one of the fastest ways to recognize strengths and weaknesses in your own. Deck Doctors is part of the growing collaboration between Boston New Technology and Startup Grind Boston, creating practical spaces where founders can build, practice, get feedback, and make real progress. Bring the deck. We'll offer the best diagnosis ;)

Per incontrarci di persona ripartiamo da...Romaaaaa! 🥂 Se conosci mezza community solo per foto profilo e reaction su LinkedIn, martedì 27 ottobre è il momento di scoprire chi c'è dietro, con il primo Meetup del MEX Social Club di Marketing Espresso. Non ci saranno presentazioni ufficiali, pitch o biglietti da visita da distribuire a raffica, in poche parole "No networking required". Ma ci troveremo in un bel posto, per bere qualcosa insieme e conoscere persone del tuo stesso mondo che hanno voglia di fare due chiacchiere. 👇🏼 Dove e quando 🗓️ Martedì 27 ottobre ⏰ Dalle 18:30 alle 21:30 📍 Da JO&JOE Roma, via delle Quattro Fontane 113 👇🏼 Come funziona All'ingresso ti diamo un braccialetto colorato: scegli tu il colore del tema di cui ti andrebbe di parlare. Il braccialetto serve solo a rompere il ghiaccio, non a dividerti in squadre: vedi qualcuno con il braccialetto giallo? Sai già da dove cominciare. Poi parli con chi vuoi, di quello che vuoi. Unica regola: "che lavoro fai?" non vale come prima domanda 😏 👉🏻 Per partecipare registrati direttamente qui su Luma. La prima consumazione è inclusa nel prezzo del biglietto, le altre sono a tuo rischio e pericolo🍹 Non serve conoscere già qualcuno: ti aspetteranno Alessio, Arianna, Alessandro ed Elisa per accoglierti all'ingresso. E se hai piacere, porta con te amici o colleghi (sì, anche quello che dice sempre "la prossima volta vengo") ❤️ Ti aspettiamo a Roma, il Team di Marketing Espresso ☕️

Ter uma ideia brilhante e montar um pitch bonito é a parte fácil. O verdadeiro teste de sobrevivência de qualquer empreendedor começa quando é preciso captar recursos, alocar capital com inteligência e fazer a empresa crescer sem secar o caixa. Para abrir o Dia 1 da Semana do Empreendedorismo, vamos receber Tiago Galli. Com a bagagem de quem participou da construção do C6 Bank — um dos maiores bancos digitais do país, que desafiou o tradicional setor financeiro brasileiro — e hoje lidera a Strive Startups, Tiago vive os dois lados do balcão: a escala de um gigante e o dia a dia de novos negócios em tração. Neste encontro sem filtros, ele vai abrir a caixa-preta sobre o que investidores realmente olham antes de assinar um cheque, os erros financeiros que matam empresas promissoras e como estruturar uma operação sólida desde o primeiro dia. O que você vai tirar desse encontro: Visão de Investidor: O que separa uma startup "investível" de apenas uma boa ideia no papel. Gestão de Caixa na Veia: Como equilibrar crescimento acelerado e saúde financeira para não quebrar na curva. Bastidores Reais: Lições práticas de quem ajudou a escalar uma das maiores fintechs do Brasil e hoje impulsiona o ecossistema de startups.

You're getting ready to be in the weeds of agents, evals, retrieval, and inference all week. Come talk about it over drinks with people who'll actually want the details! Zillow's AI and engineering team is hosting a low-key evening for people building real AI systems in production. No keynote, no slide decks, no sales pitch. Just good conversation, good food and drinks, and the kind of techy-talk that's usually the best part of any conference. What to expect Candid conversations on what's working (and what isn't) in production AI: LLM systems, agents, evals, ML infrastructure, and everything in between Engineers and researchers from Zillow's AI teams, there to swap notes rather than pitch Food & drinks: in a small enough room that you can actually hear each other Who should come Engineering leaders, senior engineers, and ML/AI researchers working on applied AI, especially if you're deep in a niche like retrieval and search, multimodal and computer vision, agentic systems, etc. If you're building something hard, we want to hear about it. A bit about us AI has been part of Zillow's DNA for years. Today, we're applying AI and machine learning to solve complex problems in real estate, from smarter home search to more personalized experiences. We're growing our AI team, but tonight is about connecting with fellow engineers, sharing ideas, and learning from each other.

¿Qué pasaría si la mayor limitación del trabajo creativo no fueran tus ideas, sino la distancia entre una idea y un asset terminado? Hoy, los equipos deben crear más contenido, en más formatos, con más iteraciones y en menos tiempo. Pero el proceso sigue estando fragmentado: la inspiración vive en un lugar, la generación en otro, los ajustes en otro y la entrega final en algún lugar más. El resultado es tiempo perdido, aprobaciones lentas, outputs inconsistentes y fatiga creativa. CapCut presenta una nueva forma de pensar el trabajo creativo. La próxima generación de creación no es una colección de funcionalidades de IA. Es un espacio de trabajo creativo impulsado por IA, conectado de principio a fin. Conoce CapCut Design Studio: un workspace de producción creativa integral que conecta inspiración, generación, comparación, refinamiento, escalamiento y entrega. Recorreremos un modelo simple y poderoso que transforma la manera de producir: Inspiración → Generación → Comparación → Refinamiento → Escalamiento → Entrega. Descubre cómo herramientas como el Infinite Canvas, el AI Agent integrado, Inspiration Search & Plugin, Skills reutilizables y PPT Quick Start pueden convertir una narrativa o un brief en resultados listos para usar: desde un video o una campaña visual hasta un pitch deck o un asset optimizado para e-commerce. Porque la IA no debería quitar al creador del proceso. Debería quitar la fricción que rodea al creador. Acompáñanos para explorar cómo CapCut PC & CapCut Design Studio ayuda a convertir una idea en un resultado de alta calidad, más rápido, con mayor continuidad y siempre bajo el control de quien crea.

Join PitchBook and our partners at Harvey, Model ML, and Madrona for a panel on how AI is rewiring private market workflows, then stay for the Kraken game on us. AI is changing how private-market work gets done. Sourcing, research, diligence, contract review, and closing used to be a slow, step-by-step relay between separate teams. Now each step is being rebuilt by a different kind of AI tool, while dealmaking accelerates. Legal-native agents like Harvey are taking the first pass at diligence, redlining, and closing. Model ML, an AI platform built for financial services, turns trusted data into client-ready pitch decks, IC memos, and diligence reports. And investors like Madrona feel the combined effect daily in how they source, evaluate, and decide. What holds it together is trust in the data underneath. PitchBook’s private-market data runs inside tools like Harvey and Model ML, so one dataset can follow a deal from first search to final decision. That only works if teams can act on what the AI tells them instead of stopping to double-check it. What the panel will discuss: One deal, four seats: how AI reshapes each stage of a deal Research → diligence → close: what’s changing at each step Trust over capability: why trust in the data matters Speed vs. better deals: is faster always better? 12 months out: what’s next for AI in private markets Has your workflow been rewired yet, or are you still running the old relay? Location: Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle 2:30: Doors Open + Pre-panel networking 3:15 – 4:15: Panel discussion and Q&A 4:15-5:30: Post event happy hour 7:00 PM: Kraken vs. Maple Leafs puck drop. Every approved attendee receives one complimentary ticket to the game.

Physical AI is being built and deployed for every terrain and application. Drones inspect infrastructure beyond visual line of sight, autonomous vessels run survey and cargo routes, and ground robots are moving from demos to double shifts. Every domain will go through the same lineage of problems; first being: can we make our thing work? and then: how do we make it viable, reliable, and productive at scale? The three domains of systems for AIR, LAND, and SEA rarely compare notes. This event brings us all together. Whether you're working on humanoids, drones, submarines, industrial automation, or anything else that relies on sensors and compute to operate in the physical world, this event is for you! Join founders, operators, and investors building autonomy in the air, on the ground, and on the water for a panel on what it takes to field learned systems in the physical world — measuring performance, debugging failures, earning trust, and more. Followed by drinks and conversation with a room of like-minded people. Massa Products Corporation and LeafLabs are excited to co-host this event together.

An evening for people who build with agents every day: swap workflows, compare setups, and meet builders at your level. Presented by Nuri. TL;DR Advanced focused: This is not for beginners.

AI coding agents are writing more of your production code every quarter. Writing code has become cheap. Knowing that it works hasn’t. Geoff Huntley, creator of the Ralph Wiggum loop and Field CTO at Antithesis, has spent the past year taking engineering teams around the world through what changes when agents do most of the typing. His view: the models are no longer the constraint. What’s left for engineering teams is vision, verification and agency. This evening is for the leaders who own the consequences. We’ll talk about: What your engineering organisation looks like when agents write most of the code Where AI-written code fails in production, and why existing tests and code review miss it How teams are rebuilding confidence in what they ship without slowing down It’s a short talk, then an open conversation. There’s no pitch and no panel. Who it’s for: Engineers and engineering leaders who care about building software that works. We’re keeping it to about 50 people.

For our first meetup, I'm sitting down with Evan You, creator of Vue and Vite and founder of VoidZero, which was just acquired. We're friends, so I won't be asking polite questions. We'll talk about what AI means for the future of open source, why turning open source into a business is so hard, what it's like to have a boss for the first time in over a decade, and finally the acquisition and what it means for Vite staying neutral. This is not first come, first served. We'll review every application and pick 50 people, so tell us what you're working on and what you'd ask Evan. If you're picked and can't make it, free up your spot. About NERDS.sg (nerds.sg): NERDS.sg is a meetup for people who build things. It's not-for-profit, with no pitches and no sponsor slides. Just good conversation and food. Agenda: Doors open with food and drinks at 6:00 pm, the chat with Evan starts at 6:45, audience Q&A at 7:20, hanging out from 7:45, and we close at 9:00.

Fundraising from VCs now takes more conversations and more months than it did a few years ago. This session works through the moves that close a round: restarting stalled momentum, negotiating terms, and building investor trust that pays off this round and the next. This is a conversational, working session with time for live questions. Christina Chang (EIR at The Engine, formerly of Lowercarbon Capital) and Liz Sisson (Director at The Engine, formerly of Third Sphere) will co-host. Momentum | Why rounds slow in the middle, and ways to give an investor a genuine reason to move: a milestone landing, a strategic partner committing, a grant coming through. Which conversations are worth reopening, and how to do it well. Terms | How to read a term sheet: what matters beyond valuation, including pro rata, board composition, and liquidation preference. What's worth negotiating at this stage and what isn't. Filling the Round | Bridge notes, angels, strategics, party rounds: what each one costs you later, and when it's the right call. Trust | How to be straight with investors about where things stand, while still giving them a reason to move now. Staying visible rather than going quiet, and treating the investor who passes this time as the one who can lead next time. This event is open to founders across The Engine network and broader ecosystem, whether you're mid-raise or getting ready to start one. ***Please fill out this form after registering.

We usually walk about 1 mile at a conversational pace, about a 20–25 minute walk, so wear any shoes you’re comfortable walking in around downtown. No special walking gear needed. 💬 What will we talk about? Each month, we explore a focused theme connected to work, life, and how we navigate both, with a few questions to guide the conversation so you do not have to figure out what to talk about or how to get started when you walk. The questions are there to get you started, not to keep you on a script. If your conversation takes you somewhere else worth exploring, follow it (we just want you to enjoy the walk & talk). 👋 Do I have to introduce myself to everyone? No long introductions and no eleva
