THE LAUNCHPAD · PROPEL EARTH · NEW YORK
Fifty people, hand picked, August 19
Last month's mixer had two dozen people in it and that turned out to be the whole point. Nobody worked the room. The conversations went deep instead of wide. We all sat down to dinner together afterward.
Mixer 2.0 is capped at fifty for the same reason. The Wilson, 132 W 27th St, 6 PM. General Admission $40, free for Private Network members.
Tell us what you are working on when you register and we seat you near someone useful. That is the entire product, and it is why we cap every room we run.
Also this week
Tuesday, August 11 · Startup tax and finance, free. Moshe Cohen, CPA does the tax strategy and fractional CFO work for a good part of this network. He is giving an hour to the questions founders usually only ask once they are expensive: can we afford to hire, when does cash get tight, which customers are actually profitable. Recording goes to everyone who registers. Save a seat
Thursday, August 13 · Coworking at The Wilson. A standing Thursday, 10 to 4, coffee and lunch included. Tell us what you are working on and we seat you near someone worth knowing. Grab a desk
Thursday, August 13 · Twelve seats at The Wilson, from $250. A private dinner the same evening, and the smallest room we run. Twelve people at one table, two minutes each on what you are building and what you need, then I spend dinner connecting the people who should already be talking. I build the seating chart by hand from your registration answers. Eight seats at $250, four Featured Seats at $500 where I open the night by introducing you and send three more introductions in the two weeks after. Claim a seat
The Private Network
Three curated introductions every month to someone who can pay you, hire you, or move your company forward. Made by hand, based on what you tell us you need.
Aurora Winters closed $100,000 last month from an investor she was matched with at our Demo Day. She told us what she needed at registration, we matched her before the room opened, and the round closed a month later.
$200 a month. First 25 members hold that price for life. Members get into every mixer free.
Take fifteen minutes with me and we will work out whether it fits.
Most of what makes a company work is who you happen to be standing next to. See you on the 19th.
New here? This is Propel Earth.
A network of roughly 20,000 founders, investors and operators, most of them in New York. We run rooms every week, we place engineers, and we match people to what they need by hand. Aurora Winters told us what she needed when she registered for Demo Day, we matched her before the doors opened, and she closed $100,000 a month later. That is the whole thesis: most of what makes a company work is who you happen to be standing next to, so we stop leaving it to chance.
The Propeller Network is open. It is where the loop closes between editions. Post what you need in Asks, post what landed in Closed, say you are coming in Rooms, find work in Hiring, and introduce yourself so we know who you are. Free, and I read everything in there.
