The Event

There's another path.

You know exactly how the next few years are supposed to go. Consulting, banking, a trading desk, an engineering role at a company someone else built.

The founders at this event looked at that same road and chose differently. They're under 25, from the same schools and same circles. They just decided to think bigger, move faster, and build something of their own — backed by Y Combinator.

Not someday. Now.

Come spend a night with them. Ask them anything.
