The next speaker at THE GATHERING SAN FRANCISCO is…

I literally can’t hide my excitement—and here’s why:
- I’m a huge fan of the product - the world’s first health super-app
- They’ve just raised $30M, and they were featured in Forbes
- The story behind the company is deeply personal—and powerful
- The team has three incredible co-founders (and yes, they’re all rockstars)
- And Max? A genuinely thoughtful, brilliant human you’ll learn a ton from

New York, May 29th, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
On May 29th, a small group of top founders will gather for an intimate, off-the-record dinner in Manhattan.
No pitches—just great food, sharp minds, and real conversations. We’ll dig into what’s really happening in the startup world today—from scaling pains and fundraising shifts to the behind-the-scenes lessons no one posts about.
Hosted by Puzzle & Rho, this is an invite-only gathering designed to spark unexpected ideas, partnerships, and friendships over a damn good meal.
Seats are limited.
New York, June 2nd, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Let’s be real — fundraising isn’t one-size-fits-all. And for women founders? The rules aren’t just different — they’re nonexistent. That’s why we’re bringing together a powerhouse room of female founders, funders, and operators to talk about raising capital your way. And the speakers won’t disappoint.
Olivia O'Sullivan - Partner & COO at Forum VC
Charlotte (Dillon) Ross - Partner at Inspired Capital
Jenny Fielding - Co-founder + Managing Partner at Everywhere Ventures
