Last One Standing - Founders Demo and Networking Night

Event Description

Join us Wednesday, August 5 at Monks Brew Club from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM for Founders Demo & Networking Night: Last One Standing—an evening where big ideas compete, connections collide, and stamina (social and otherwise) is tested.

This high-energy night brings together entrepreneurs, professionals, and investors who know that building something great often starts with the right conversation—and maybe a second drink. Whether you’re a founder looking for partners, clients, or capital, or a professional expanding your circle, this is your arena.

With 8+ founders pitching their ventures, you’ll get a front-row seat to bold ideas and rising companies as they go head-to-head for attention, interest, and bragging rights. Stick around, network hard, and see who’s still pitching, still talking, and still standing by the end of the night.

Come for the demos. Stay for the connections.

Last one standing wins—at least the best stories.
