August 21, 2023

Hey homies,

Excited to share a new feature on Supermomos - who wants to meet me again! 🌟 After your event wraps, you'll get a chance to review your host and see 3 randomized attendees. Keen on a rerun? Just hit 'yes' and they'll get the hint. (Not to worry: 'Maybe' & 'No' responses are our little secret, just to feed our AI algorithms to gather better groups for you! 👀) Bonus: Rake in an extra 10 momos for every review! (takes 2 seconds) *only folks who have taken their attendance will get the chance to review, so remember to take your attendance!

Spotlight

Co-hosted by the wonderful Rachel from Google and Kundan from Barclays: The movie starts at 8 but the lawn opens at 5 and my cohost, Kundan, has agreed to hold down the fort till I get there. The lawn fills up fast so come, chill and have a chat before the show starts. Make sure you bring a blanket if you can (or be open to sharing) and you can absolutely bring food and drinks but no dogs. Would totally recommend getting takeout or hitting up Whole Foods cause what’s a movie without snacks.

Co-hosted by Kevin from Google and Tommy from Brookhaven National Laboratory: Come to join us for outdoor Chinese food & cultural festival. Dragon fest is NYC’s largest Chinese food festival. We are going to enjoy great Chinese food, music and activities. It will be a great time to come out and hang out with people at the tail of the summer.

Calling all female founders, leaders, investors, and other allies in NYC! (men are welcome). We will be prioritizing those in the beverage, CPG, and related spaces. Make new friends with likeminds in the tech ecosystem, exchange ideas and knowledge, and learn from Sallie Jian, Head of Ventures, North America, at Diageo, during an intimate fireside chat. She was previously Head of SAP.iO New York.

There will be complimentary open bar featuring Diageo's incredible portfolio of beverage brands 🙂 *Diageo is a top alcoholic beverage company, with leading brands such as Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Smirnoff, and Baileys!

What Happened Last Week

Bringing together the Southeast Asian & AAPI community in NYC! 🥰 Massive shoutout to our insightful panelists: Christina Teo (Chief Builder, she1K; LinkedIn Top Voice; the 1st GM, Yahoo Singapore), Sylvia A. (Head of Financial Institutional Sales, Bank of China), and J.Y. C. (Investor, Alpha Wave Global - $15 bn+ fund). Special thanks to the amazing Stephanie Seow (GM, Love, Bonito North America) for hosting and moderating so aptly! Big appreciation goes to our community patrons - Singapore Global Network and Love, Bonito, for their support of Asian communities. 🙌

Key Takeaways: 1. Personal Branding: Establishing a unique personal brand sets you apart. Be genuinely interesting, and you'll naturally draw people towards you. 2. Power of Connections: Networking is like a chain reaction; one connection can lead you to twenty more. The beauty of networking lies in its exponential potential.

What a tech-tastic week for our Supermomos tribe! We began on a high note, mingling under the stars at the AI data scientists and engineers rooftop mixer. Our brains got a workout during the enlightening AI talks, while the coworking meetup fostered innovation and collaboration. Foodies rejoiced at the vibrant Queens Night Market and emotions ran high at Christina's heartfelt farewell party - 100+ people RSVPed and we took over the entire rooftop! We’ll miss you Christina!!🎉
