Bootstrapped & Solo Founders Afterwork

A relaxed afterwork evening for bootstrapped, solo, and early-stage founders figuring out many of the same things you are.

11 Sep 2026
5:00 – 7:30 PM Address shared upon RSVP · New York, NY
About the Evening

Google began because Sergey Brin happened to be assigned to show Larry Page around Stanford. Ben & Jerry met because they were the two slowest kids in gym class. Bill Gates nearly skipped the gathering where he met Warren Buffett, but his mother convinced him to go, and they ended up speaking for hours.

That kind of serendipity is what we want to create. Yorkseed and Tison.io are bringing together bootstrapped founders, solo founders, and early-stage builders in New York for an evening of meeting people who are figuring out many of the same things you are.

There'll also be an attendee-only WhatsApp group so the conversations can continue after the event.
