​Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to get together with friends and family, but it is also a time to remember those that need help and don’t have the means to celebrate. Friday, Nov. 21st we invite you to gather with us to embrace the community and also help the children and families! We ask that you PLEASE bring any food or clothing in your pantry or closet that you don’t need anymore. Items will be donated to local San Francisco organizations like Glide Memorial Church and La Cocina.

​This Thanksgiving season, we’re gathering the startup community for an evening of connection, gratitude, and collaboration. Join us for the Founders & VC Thanksgiving Dinner at Focus Innovation Studio — a warm, open event where founders, investors, and friends of the innovation ecosystem come together to share stories, ideas, and a festive meal.

​Let’s take a moment to pause, celebrate the wins (big or small), and reflect on our journeys as builders, creators, and supporters of innovation. Enjoy a cozy dinner filled with great conversations, new friendships, and valuable connections — all in the spirit of community and gratitude.
