What you get

Real numbers.
A capped room.
People who stick around.

01

Receipts, not keynotes

Founders show what they actually posted and what it returned — including the stuff that flopped. Numbers on screen, not vibes.

02

A room that's actually curated

Capped at 80–100 and every RSVP read. You end up next to founders at your stage, not a badge-scanning crowd.

03

It doesn't end at the door

You leave on the list. A weekly newsletter and 2,500+ founders comparing notes long after the room clears.

FAQ

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Every event. You just need to RSVP on Partiful, because we cap the room.

Where are the events?

San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Boston. Sign up and you'll get your city's invite first.

Do I need an audience already?

No. Most of the room is starting near zero. That's the point.

What do I get for signing up?

The Distribution Playbook, early RSVP access, and one email a week.

Can I bring someone?

Yes — they just need to RSVP too. We cap the room, so we need names.
