Venture Café isn't a happy hour or a sales floor. It's a neutral, inclusive room where founders, builders, and curious humans help each other. Reading and accepting our credo is the first step to becoming part of our program. Be welcoming and friendly… and help keep the place tidy. The community thrives because we welcome participants without regard to color, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, or disability. Learn about other guests' projects, explore new perspectives, consider the absurd. Ask yourself how can I help? We are not a bar, this is not a happy hour. If you think it is, you are in the wrong place. Innovation is about top level thinking, not bottom line outcomes. Focus on building relationships that will last. Challenge yourself to think outside of your norms and grow. Be willing to provide constructive feedback and share your ideas. Tell us who you are and where to find you. We use this to confirm your session and keep you looped in. A clear title and a few honest sentences go further than a polished pitch. Tell us what would happen and who it's for. A good session description answers three questions. You don't have to use the headings — just make sure the answers are in there. These help us route your session to the right person and stay in touch about ways you might want to engage with Venture Café going forward. We just sent your suggestion to our program team. You'll hear back from us within a few business days about scheduling and next steps. Venture Café only works because everyone in the room shares the credo. If it isn't a fit today, that's okay — we'd rather you opt out now than be uncomfortable later. The door is open whenever you want to revisit.
Before you propose a session, make yourself at home.
Let's start with the human part.
What do you want to put in the room?
Almost done. Just a couple of quick yeses and nos.
Thank you. Your session is in the queue.
Maybe another time.
