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 is for early-stage founders to share a meal (bring your own), and trade war stories and tips. It's also the midweek point of our weekly accountability sprints for anyone who needs help to reach their goals for the week.
Come join us, eat together, have some lively conversations, and build.
🔹 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.
🔹 Co-working —optionally, stay after for our regular co-working sessions with your fellow founders and find the opportunity to collaborate together on what you're building.

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.
