Serve yourself when you arrive and enjoy a drink while mingling or sitting. We strive to provide delicious food with a vegetarian option. “No pizza” rule. \n​​Ask and Offer \n​​This is a quick and optional activity that gives people the opportunity to introduce themselves\, and share their “ask” and their “offer” to the community. We can all offer expertise\, introductions\, or experience. \n​​Host: Startup Haven \n​​Startup Haven Ventures is a pre-seed venture fund backed by its 19-year-strong\, members-only national network exclusively for full-time\, venture-scale founders and active investors. \nOur gatherings provide a private space—no service providers allowed—where founders and investors can exchange ideas and build meaningful relationships. \nIn our San Diego chapter\, we will be hosting a monthly dinner and an inclusive poker night\, plus virtual programs like Office Hours and Pitch Coaching to connect founders nationwide.
