Welcome to the weekly and as yet un-named newsletter from TechWalk. We are a networking community for Tech and SaaS professionals that offers weekly walks hosted by industry experts and interesting individuals.

Volunteer with TechWalk for NY TechWeek

If you can’t volunteer you should still attend. But register soon. I can’t believe I have to say this, but yes, we are closing registration when we get to 500.

You could attend five networking events this Spring / Summer or you could volunteer at one and probably achieve the same impact. How? The volunteers at our special events interact deeply with TechWalk community members by leading smaller cohorts of participants, facilitating engagement, answering questions and ensuring folks enjoy their TechWalk experience. Plus we showcase all of our volunteers and yeah, you’ll be kinda TechWalk famous. So if you are free on Monday morning June 3rd at 8:00 and would like to supercharge your connections and spark a few new meaningful relationships - sign up to volunteer with us!

5.15 The Knowledge Shop x TechWalk Collab

This week we are pleased to be offering up a founder-focused TechWalk in collaboration with The Knowledge Shop aka TKS, a NYC-based community for founders described with a simple but powerful tagline “learn from peers (not Google)”. Launched by Tori Hanson, TKS delivers impactful events crafted to serve the needs of their constituency - from Speed-dating to find your perfect Co-Founder to a Startup Financials Co-Working Day to public speaking workshops. Whether you are currently a founder, thinking about launching a startup of your own or want to understand the founder mindset through 1:1 conversation - this TechWalk is for you. Check out the TKS newsletter to get early access to upcoming events and connect with our Co-Hosts in advance to lay the groundwork for Wednesday’s conversations.

  • Tori Hanson, Founder, The Knowledge Shop

  • Denzil Eden, Founder & CEO, smarty.ai - Level up your productivity and plan your best day, every day with Smarty. Let AI manage your schedule so you can focus on what really matters. Smarty helps you create routines, stick to them, and automate those pesky administrative tasks with conversational commands (like, creating calendar events: "Coffee with Stella at Blue Bottle at 3pm CT", or drafting and sending emails: "Send a thank you to Ash at 3pm tomorrow").

  • Abdullah Ali, Founder & CEO, 3rd Brain - Outsource your thoughts to a brain that never forgets. Meet Bo, your 3rd Brain! Helping you share more of what you have to do so you can do more of what you want to do.

NY TechWeek Announcement

It’s happening! Our NY TechWeek TechWalk is on the official calendar.

Our April FINTech Week event attracted close to 300 registrants and a walk that bordered on a march! I guess we were protesting stale networking events?

We’re working hard to finalize all of our headliners, but in the meantime, please meet our anchor Co-Hosts. Connect and let them know you are looking forward to chatting with them on the walk.

Upcoming TechWalk Schedule

Congrats on reaching the end of this newsletter. If you would like information on sponsoring our next edition, being a featured member, or joining a future walk as a Co-Host, simply contact us at [email protected]

Happy Walking,
