Event Details

Looking for a co-founder or startup collaborator? This San Francisco event skips profile-based matching and puts participants to work together on real startup problems.
Before the event, attendees submit one challenge they are currently facing. During the evening, the room votes on selected problems and small groups work through them in focused sessions.
Each session gives participants a chance to see how potential collaborators think, communicate, challenge assumptions, and solve problems in real time.
The event is designed for solo founders, engineers, builders, product professionals, GTM operators, and startup professionals interested in finding potential co-founders or collaborators.
At the end of the evening, attendees can indicate who they would like to continue working or talking with. Ascent Valley connects participants only when the interest is mutual.
Expect two structured working sessions, collaborative problem-solving, open networking, and post-event mutual matching.
Advance registration and completion of a short pre-event problem submission form are required.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
