Last Week's Highlights

The energy last week was incredible across all our events. Our signature runs saw founders braving the cold for connection and community, Thursday's Future of Content fireside chat with John Hammond & Ari Kagan sparked conversations that continued well into the evening, and Saturday's Holiday Party brought together NYC's most dynamic founders for an unforgettable celebration.

Over 60 of NYC's most dynamic founders came together Saturday night for an intimate holiday celebration at Hudson Yards. No name tags, no elevator pitches – just real conversations and genuine connections forming over holiday drinks in a stunning Manhattan loft. This is what happens when the right people come together in the right setting. Don't miss our next gathering!

Insights from the Content Fireside Chat

John & Ari shared a fresh perspective on content creation that challenged conventional wisdom.

Key Takeaways:

• Quality storytelling trumps viral moments

• Focus on building communities, not just audiences

• Use short-form content to test longer narratives

• Think beyond platforms to create lasting impact

The Changing Landscape:

• AI is changing how people consume content - focus on human connection

• Stand out by building dedicated audiences over chasing viral moments

• Study successful brands like Kith who maintain freshness while staying true to their identity

• Build content that connects across multiple platforms and mediums

Pro Tip: "The best stories come from exploring something and coming back to tell a story that no one has heard before." - Ari and John
