We will also have a photobooth with fun props, and DJs for later in the evening so you can bust out those moves again 💃đŸ•șTeam Microsoft was really crushing it with the dancing during our last FAANG++ gala

Fri, Mar 8, 8:30 AM: Product Masterclass feat. Nir Eyal (Best-selling Author of Hooked)
*3,000 momos to redeem a free “Hooked” book which Nir can autograph for you live!

Join us for the first installment of our Masterclass series, co-hosted by Supermomos and Singapore Global Network (SGN). Through this series, we plan to feature some of the GOATS (Greatest of All Time) in various fields and have them share their knowledge with New York City’s top industry leaders.

Our first masterclass is on Product, featuring Nir Eyal, a twice-exited technology founder and best-selling author of the book Hooked - a book that most founders and product management leaders would know about! More on his bio below. The masterclass will focus on how to build habit-forming products. Learn to improve your product’s engagement, retention, and increase word of mouth (the best form of marketing).

After Nir’s masterclass, there will be time for interactive Q&A, engaging with Nir (and getting your books signed!), and also mingling with other founders, product leaders, and executives.

Complimentary breakfast and coffee will be provided.

Thank you to our co-host, Singapore Global Network (SGN), for making all of this happen!

We will feature a presentation and demo on deepfakes, a panel with top execs in the AI space, and curated lightning talks. It will be a great way to digest what everyone is building and working on in the AI ML and Responsible AI space.

There will be time for interactive Q&A, engaging with the speakers, and also mingling with other founders, product leaders, and executives. Complimentary bites and drinks will be provided!

Thu, Mar 14, 7 PM: From Whispers to Wow: Improve your Public Speaking! Full; Waitlist Available

Join Willie, part of our Momo Squad to improve your public speaking! Ready to step up your public speaking game and connect with other like-minded folks who are also on a journey of self-improvement? Join us for a casual, supportive meetup designed to help you gain confidence and hone your communication skills in a safe and encouraging environment.

Hosted by Momo Squad Esther! She is a member of the popular “Eat Something New in Queens” Facebook group (ig: @qns_together) which has put together discounts for participating Queens restaurants all month long for the month of March (restaurant-month-2024.queenstogether.org). March is definitely Queens restaurant month!

In the spirit of exploring delicious, diverse and ethnic cuisines in my hometown borough, we will be meeting at Bolivian Llama Party for salteñas (which has been described as a cross between empanadas and a soup dumpling) then heading off to another stop in Sunnyside for actual momos at a Supermomos event!

You are cordially invited to join us for an unforgettable evening moderated by Director Jasmine Ray, Mayor's Office of Sports, Wellness and Recreation.

Panelists include: Gail Marquis, Olympian; Scott Havens, President of The Mets; Hiren Chauhan, Empire State Titans Founder; Jon Ledecky, NY Islanders Co-Owner; Jennifer O'Sullivan, New York City Football Club COO; Rob Simmelkjaer, NY Road Runners CEO

Ticket price is $160, and will include a tour of Gracie Mansion, Cocktail Reception & Hors d'oeuvres and Photo Ops, as well as a Panel Discussion. All proceeds go to Gracie Mansion Conservancy - a private not-for-profit corporation established in 1981 to preserve, maintain and enhance Gracie Mansion - one of the oldest surviving wood structures in Manhattan and a member of The Historic House Trust.

This event is ticketed and all guests will be checked by security at the mansion.

We invite an exclusive group of founders to join us for a complimentary dinner at Don Angie, co-hosted by Supermomos, Zendesk, and 1919 Investment Counsel.

Requirement to join: founders who have at least $10-100M+ in revenue or funding.

We are reserving 15 spots for venture-backed founders at Don Angie, known for its difficulty in securing a reservation: “$200 just to get in the door”, by NY MAG. Don Angie has garnered a tremendous amount of critical acclaim, receiving a glowing, 2-star critic’s pick review from the New York Times in 2018 and being named one of Esquire’s Best New Restaurants in America in 2018.

We will have segments of facilitated conversation to help everyone to get to know each other better by the end of the night. It will be an evening of likeminded company, knowledge exchange and learning from fellow founders at similar stages, and a good time over great food & drinks!

We invite you to join us for the Women in AI ML Mini Summit With Microsoft. Come and learn about what other women in the AI ML space are building, investing in, share insights and ideas, and find collaborators & potential co-founders.

There will be a fireside chat, lightning talks from the crowd, and networking/mingling. This event is free. Light bites and drinks provided.

This event is in collaboration with Microsoft. Microsoft is a multinational technology corporation – the world's leading technology company that has a profound impact on various sectors, including software, hardware, cloud computing, and personal computing.
