SUMMARY:Off the Record: Tech Week Pre-Game — Sunday on the Deck for Founders & Funders
DESCRIPTION:Kick off Seattle Tech Week the right way. Before the sessions fill up and the schedules get hectic\, come find your people. Join fellow founders\, GTM leaders and early-stage investors for an evening of conversation and connection — no program — while taking in the views over the water on Pier 70. \nA curated room of founders (seed to Series B)\, GTM leaders and early-stage investors — all done with playbooks that stopped working. Cold outreach is dead. Paid ROI keeps shrinking.

Brought to you by Optimly\, the brand trust registry for AI\, and Finch. \nWhen: Sunday\, July 26\, 3:30–7:00 pm\nWhere: AI House\, Pier 70 \nRSVP on Luma
