FAFO Late Night Lounge after Pragma
We're hosting a FAFO Night in San Francisco with Hadron Founders Club, Cookbook, Dabl Club, Polygon, Edge, and friends
If you don't know what FAFO is ~ here's a primer: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1c9R8MGQWFk
The agenda: it's a mixer with hand picked early stage founders + a friends, anchored by OGs to share stories of their biggest Ls.
🎙️ We'll keep this fun and light hearted but honest, authentic and real. Lessons from Ls are worth just as much, if not more than lessons from Ws - and hopefully this can help founders navigate their own path towards success.
We'll share stories for an hour and the rest of the time is an open mixer.
Schedule:
8:30 PM Doors open
9:30 PM Programming kicks-off with stories
11:00 PM Late night pizza from Pizza DAO
