What we do

No networking events. No small talk. Just coffee.

Every week, we pick a founder in New York, show up at their office with their coffee order, and have a real conversation.

Coffee Chats

One founder, one drink order, one honest conversation.

Office Visits

We come to them. The desk. The whiteboard. The chaos.

What We Learn

The lessons you only get from people actually building.

The mission

We moved to New York from Germany and didn't know a single person. Everyone tells you networking is everything. Nobody shows you what that looks like.

So we're documenting it.

100 coffees. One city. One espresso at a time.
