The founder journey can get lonely, especially when you're carrying a million decisions by yourself.

If you're stuck on something, bring it.

We’ll pair AI founders into small groups where everyone gets a turn in the hot seat: share one challenge you’re facing, give the group context, and use the room to brainstorm, pressure-test ideas, problem-solve, or simply talk through what’s been weighing on you.

You don’t need to come with a polished pitch or even a problem that needs “fixing.” Sometimes you just need other founders who can empathize.

Come with one thing on your mind. Leave with a fresh perspective, next steps, and a few people who know what you’re working through.

We’ll also have light check-ins and opportunities to meet again IRL, so the conversation doesn’t end when the event does.

Five years ago, content was a brand exercise. Today it's a GTM motion. The fastest-growing companies in SF aren't winning on outbound — they're winning on attention, owned audiences, and founders who post.

We're taking over a private room for a morning of high-signal conversations on how content actually drives pipeline, with two founders who live it. Eric runs Virio, the agency rebuilding B2B content as a measurable revenue channel. Conor is best known online for "
no dating until Series B
" and a feed that turned Hyperspell into one of the most-watched AI infra companies of YC F25 before they shipped a single customer.

The format is simple: you'll be seated in a small, curated group — tight enough that every conversation actually goes somewhere. Then a fireside with Eric and Conor on:
Why content went from brand exercise to GTM motion
What founders should be posting (and what's a waste of time)
How to turn a feed into pipeline without becoming a full-time creator
Where AI-native founders have an unfair advantage on distribution

Open AMA to close. Coffee and breakfast served.

You'll leave with:

Mangusta Capital: San Francisco Launch Night 🇮🇹

Dresscode: No denim or hats permitted!

An evening bringing together founders, portfolio leaders, and partners across venture, growth, and family office capital to mark Mangusta's first big community night in San Francisco — right before summer begins.

The night features an LP-led discussion on market dynamics, fundraising trends, and capital deployment in today's climate, including where AI fits into the broader investment landscape.

A nod to Mangusta's Italian roots: an aperitivo-led bar 🍸 with the Mangusta Spritz built for the occasion, Italian-inspired bites, and a DJ spinning top 40, house, and Italian disco for the right amount of flair. 🎶

Curated for a tight room of GPs, LPs, partners, and directors from leading venture and growth firms, alongside founders and senior operators from Mangusta's network.
