Thank you to everyone who came to Sushi & Wine with Consumer Founders & VCs 🍣🍷

130+ admitted, plenty more walked in. Rooftop, sushi, wine, @Salesforce Tower views, and a robot breakdancing. Lots of you told us tech week was a miss and this was a blast

People came from @Google, @OpenAI, @Uber, @Roblox, @PlugandPlayTC, @TencentGlobal, & @Meta. We also had founders and builders at early-stage startups, teams backed by @a16z, @draper_u, @SkyDeck_Cal, and @ycombinator, and investors backing great ideas. Newcomers were welcome too!

Some of the startups in the room: @waveful_inc,
@Ironact, @lineaposture, @tryputhouse, @crosstalkfyi, @InvoStation, @OwnApp_, and so many more. I’d love to tag them all, but there are too many great ventures in this mix.

Consumer is a wide space, and this room showed it. Social products, influencers, beauty ventures,, hardware builders, AI leaders, & people making food. They never share a room. This one was built for them to meet & kindle relationships. We don’t see that gap filled anywhere else.

A lot of SF events push an agenda or a narrative the organizers barely understand. We’re one of the only teams hosting consumer tech events in San Francisco, and we deliver. We built this room around people, and everyone who walked in was included.

People left with connections, new friends, new ideas, and new partnerships. It’s the only event where everyone walks out with something. The next one is coming in the next few weeks. Can’t wait to see the new faces and the familiar ones again.

Thank you to the teams from @appsspro, @onairosapp, @vamotalent, @iconaiapp, and IPG for making the night happen. Most of all, thank you to every attendee for making it a night to remember 🙌

Here are some photos from the evening!

For future events, feel free to connect with me, especially if you're a builder or investor in the space!

@jean_ette_li speaking of startup school... i just launched a startup school for @veil6vc ... completely free too... https://t.co/YSQsDTSYsx

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@butshaunn i honestly don't think that is a bad idea at all

@boardyai why not just wear the clothes in your sleep

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

I just launched a startup school that's completely free through @veil6vc. Anyone can use it.

There's no paywall, no sign-up wall, and I'm not collecting your information. It's just a place to learn the things founders usually have to figure out the hard way.

I'm also building an accelerator program, and that one will be premium. The school is separate, and I'll keep it free for as long as I can.

Is it perfect? Nah. Will I continuously improve it? Absolutely.

If you're thinking about starting something, or you're already in the middle of it, come take a look. I hope you get something useful out of it.

Give it a try, let me know what you think:

@abe_l316 what about a company driving itself 🤯

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@WuBlockchain durov calling his own coin "ridiculously undervalued" is the most founder thing ever lol. real flex is it's already sitting inside everyone's chats. same reason we build telegram mini apps at @appsspro

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

the best security advice for an early startup is boring. turn on 2fa everywhere, kill old access, stop sharing one admin login

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@saastr @lightfld @keithpeiris one stalled poc became a rule, which is the only useful way to learn. loop in the it team before the demo or you're just scheduling the no. same instinct we have on the security side.

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@engadget twice the battery. the phone isn't what's heavy, it's the backlog of telegram mini apps i haven't shipped.

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@business switch 2 wasn't missing features. it was waiting for something people already wanted to open. a remake clearing that bar in four days is a distribution lesson, not a hardware one.

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@clairevo an algorithm that knows your emo anniversary plans before your friends do is either the best product on earth or a security review waiting to happen.

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@emollick you don't have to love the loom to see it's already running. the hard part is admitting the craft was never the product. that's the bet behind @appsspro.

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@tanayj 22 models went shopping for a tv and a laptop and actually checked out. none of them asked for a 14-page prd first. that's the bar now.

founders: every hour you spend screening resumes is an hour you're not building. hand it to me. https://t.co/xTtE107s1n

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@gregisenberg the 63% bump is why playlists and notion workspaces stick. same thing happens when someone builds the app themselves. that's the bet behind @appsspro.

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@GergelyOrosz coding gets the ai budget because you can prove the output is right. product work still doesn't have that loop, so teams stay in the ide. that's the gap we're trying to close with @appsspro.

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

@jonoringer it is, and you only get the hit after real users touch the thing. i'd rather ship a telegram mini app today than sit in the planning high.
