Happy Sunday,
As heatwaves roll through the city and laptops threaten to overheat, the tech world is anything but cooling down. From rooftop pitch nights to underground AI salons, the calendar is bursting with founder mixers, product launches, and quietly epic dinners you definitely weren’t invited to (or were you?).
If you're trying to decide between A/C or RSVPing, we’ve got your back. Dive in for the hottest events, latest startup moves, and some strong opinions on tech that’s actually worth paying attention to.
The full list of future events, meetups and conferences can be found in my lu.ma calendar here. Don’t forget you can also submit your own event there!
Monday, Aug 4th
Historically, Bitcoin has followed a four-year rhythm tied to the halving — when the block reward is cut in half. While the direct impact of each halving has diminished over time, the cyclical nature of the market remains very real: bear market depression, followed by recovery, and eventually retail-driven euphoria.
Feel the excitement of our events. An event where innovative startups and entrepreneurs from around the world in Tech & Business meet with Silicon Valley investors. Seize your chance to dive into the world of business, technology, and venture capital.
