fnNYC Chapter 2026 Mid-Year Roundup (June 18, 2026)
Virtual · Zoom
Reconnect with the fnNYC Chapter for our mid-year follow-up, where we’ll build on the momentum from our kickoff and share what’s ahead for the rest of the year.
Whether your goal is to raise a funding round, expand your network, or refine your growth strategy, Founders Network is here to support you every step of the way in 2026. This session is a chance to revisit those goals, share progress, and explore new opportunities within the community.
Since our kickoff, it’s been exciting to see the continued engagement across the network. Last year alone, we hosted 200+ events and grew to more than 600 members across 25 global chapters—momentum we’re continuing to build on this year.
We’ll also highlight upcoming programming, share ways to get more involved, and open the floor to your ideas on how we can make chapter events even more valuable moving forward. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to reconnect with fellow members and continue strengthening relationships within the chapter.
