Hey homies,

They say NYC is the place to be this winter — this season, we have LOTS of exciting opportunities for you: 

🧠 If you're a global AI startup founder with $5M+ in revenue/funding thinking of expanding into the U.S., we're offering curated customer + investor introductions, 1:1 mentorship, and complimentary co-working space to help you scale FAST in the world's top AI ecosystem. Apply before Jan 9, 2026 to join our NYC AI Landing Pad, launched in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and Lightspeed Ventures! This program is free to join for selected participants.

🚀 We’re Hiring: Deputy GM, NYC. We’re opening applications for Deputy GM, NYC, who will own the NYC ecosystem end-to-end: community, sales, growth, events, and city P&L. This is one of the most impactful roles at Supermomos, working directly with our leadership team to shape the future of our flagship market. If you are (or know) an execution-driven builder who lives and breathes the startup/VC ecosystem, we’d love to meet you. Recent grads welcome — as long as you’re an absolute animal 🐅 (in drive, ownership, and execution). See more & apply here.

🤑 For the seed to Series B founders, we have complimentary $20 in Amazon vouchers for you, courtesy of our friends at Hubble (NYC's largest online platform to find startup office space)! Simply help to answer a 3-min survey about your startup's work situation — whether it is in-person, hybrid, or fully-remote :) 

🎟️ Get FREE tickets to BROOKLYN TECH EXPO “TECH4LIFE” Edition (limited to FIRST 20 TIX only)! This is Brooklyn’s largest AI & tech event, organized by Pulse NYC. Happening on Feb 11, 2026, you can expect 1,000+ professionals, a prime Dumbo venue, and a packed agenda showcasing the intersection of AI and everyday technology. Simply use code SUPERMOMOS1 to unlock your free ticket!

🥐If you're a founder with >$500K in funding/ARR, join us for breakfast next Thursday with Partner at Intel Capital ($5B AUM) and Founder & CEO of Lyzr.ai (Series A)! We're dining at a Michelin-recognized restaurant as a sweet conclusion to our 2025 breakfast series 😆 

📈 Join a free AI GTM workshop to build your AI native GTM — Scalestack will show you how to design workflows that scale your GTM - clean, efficient, agentic. Apply here

🥟 Not a founder/VC, but want to join events exclusively for founders & VCs? Exciting news: We're upgrading your momo points system!

Soon, every curated Supermomos experience will include 1 guaranteed spot available for Momo Points redemption — including private founders’ and VCs’ gatherings, Michelin-chef dinners, and more.
(You can find your Momo Points in the top-right corner of the Supermomos app)

We’re also opening this up to hosts: you’ll now be able to offer guaranteed spots in exchange for Momos too 🤗

We can’t wait to reward the community members who contribute the most 💛

What Happened in the Past Weeks?

It’s been a big few weeks at Supermomos — the kind that remind us why real-world connection matters. In November, we hosted a Founders Breakfast with Fizz and Blue Cloud Ventures, brought together top CISOs for a private dinner during a major cybersecurity week in NYC, gathered the Columbia community for a buzzing alumni mixer, ran an insightful Founders & Funders Masterclass featuring Zeal Capital Partners, Healthee, and Neura Health, then wrapped it all with a warm and laughter-filled multicultural Friendsgiving potluck.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, thank you for showing up — for sharing your stories, your challenges, your curiosity, and your brilliance. This community is what makes every one of these rooms worth stepping into.

Follow us on Instagram and Twitter and LinkedIn to get up to date on even last-minute events hosted by the community, and also check out photos of past events.

Much love, Edwina
