Hey homies,

Hope you are staying hydrated and under AC with the NYC heatwave 🔥 We have many exciting events coming up ranging from curated dinner with strangers, July 4th BBQ and fireworks, and many more. See below 👇

Last call to join The Mighty Momo Power Angels 👼, an exclusive investment group of senior execs, founders, and investors. If you are interested, apply here by the end of June to be considered 👼

Spotlights

Join us for an intimate evening of curated dinner with strangers!

Supermomos will curate approx. 6 people for you to have dinner with, at a surprise restaurant, based on the questionnaire. Whether you're looking for new friends, relationships, professional connections, or new experiences, we welcome all of you and will curate based on your needs and wants.

If you have been looking to expand your horizons and get out of your comfort zone, this is the perfect opportunity for it. Come make new friends and professional connections at this curated dinner with strangers.

Dinner location will be revealed to you 1-3 days before the event date. You won't know who you'll meet until you show up. We are also doing a secret-bar-session afterwards involving all tables 😄 

Dinner is not included in the ticket price.

Invite & Approval: Founders & VCs only. This event is part of our Female Founders & Funders series but all genders are welcome to join!
