General Admission

The Great Spring Picnic of 2025

Sheep Meadow

​Startups are hard. They keep us busy, isolated, and constantly pushing forward. But at the earliest stages, relationships matter most. Since we all have to eat, let’s break bread together and build a founder and builders community that helps each other grow and get to market.
​
​Join us for a casual dinner with fellow founders and builders(tech and creative!). No pitches, no agendas—just good food, good people, and the kind of conversations that only happen when ambitious minds come together.

🔹 
Connect Over Dinner
 – Share a meal, swap stories, and build relationships beyond transactional networking.
🔹 
Founder & Builder Conversations
 – Whether you’re tackling your latest challenge, bouncing ideas, or just getting to know others on the same journey, you’ll be surrounded by people who get it.
🔹 
A Community-First Atmosphere
 – No pressure, no expectations—just a space to unwind, talk, and be part of a growing founder community.
Come for the food, stay for the people, and leave with real connections that make the founder journey a little less lonely.

About Cohort – A Community for Builders
Cohort is a community of founders and builders focused on bringing SF’s builder-first culture to NYC. Instead of the city’s usual hustle-and-networking dynamic, we’re creating an environment where founders work side by side, challenge each other, and build momentum together.

As Paul Graham wrote:
“Ambitious people are rare… when you take people like this and put them together with other ambitious people, they bloom like dying plants given water.”

We’re starting with regular founder meetups, coworking sessions, and dinners—simple but effective ways to build meaningful relationships while making progress.

Over time, we’ll expand to more events designed to encourage deeper conversations, shared learning, and real collaboration.

Join us and help build the founder community NYC deserves.

After Hours with Cornell Tech Founders

CALLING ALL FOUNDERS TO SHOW UP TO WORK
To celebrate the 2-month anniversary of Founders Support Group and COHORT at Civic Hall, we’ll be organising a 
special day-long co-working event
.

For those who are on trial memberships at Civic Hall, we’re asking you to 
show up to co-work today
 to show Civic Hall how important the space is for us. On top of that, 
bring a co-working buddy
 (who hasn’t signed up for a membership yet) and get our
 limited-edition COHORT sticker
 while stocks last!

1200HRS
: For lunch, we’ll be organising a special edition of Brown Bag Lunch, potluck style. 
Bring a bite to share.

1600HRS
: To close off the day, we’ll be holding our weekly planning session, capped with the 
reveal of our first website
. Stick around to 
network with other community-builders
 and help us 
brainstorm ideas for the future of COHORT
.

WHAT IS BROWN BAG LUNCH?

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Drifting through the wind? It's because you're a start-up founder.
​This weekly Brown Bag lunch at Civic Hall is for early-stage founders 
to share a meal (bring your own)
, and
 trade war stories and tip
s.
​Does lunchtime remind you of high school, sitting in the toilet cubicle with a your packed lunch and no surface to put your juice pack? We have tables! And lively conversations.
​🔹 
Bring a war story
—that's right, leave no founder trauma at the door.
​🔹 
Or just bring your ears (and your own food)
—hear the challenges of other solo founders and what they did to win the day.
​🔹 
Weekly guests
—who are better than the rest of us because they've actually succeeded, and taken that sweet, sweet VC money. Or actually just more interesting and attractive.
​🔹 
Co-working Space
—optionally, stay on after for our regular co-working session at Civic Hall. Real estate is expensive and the wifi here is free.
------
About Cohort – A Community for Builders
Cohort is 
a new community inspired by SF’s builder-first culture
, offering founders a deeper, more meaningful alternative to NYC’s hustle and networking scene.

​NYC has some of the most ambitious people in the world, but too often, the startup scene feels transactional. The best founder ecosystems emerge when people build together, 
challenge each other, and create momentum as a group
.

​As Paul Graham wrote:
​
“Ambitious people are rare… when you take people like this and put them together with other ambitious people, they bloom like dying plants given water.”
​We’re building an environment where founders work side by side, form real relationships, and accelerate each other’s progress.
​
We’re starting with 
weekly coworking sessions
—a simple but effective way to stay focused while building meaningful connections. Over time, we’ll expand to both social and building focused events designed to foster deeper conversations and shared learning—moving beyond networking to create a 
true community of builders
.
