Co-Working Session @ Bluestone

Tue, Oct 20, 3:00 PM

From Jersey City Entrepreneurs

## Venture Garden Co-Working Sessions **Build independently. Work alongside other builders. Leave with momentum.** Venture Garden is a relaxed co-working session for entrepreneurs, creatives, operators, and curious people building something of their own. There’s no presentation, no pitch deck, and no pressure to network. Bring your laptop, notebook, project, business idea, or unfinished task. Grab a coffee or tea, find a seat, and spend focused time working alongside other people who are doing the same. The idea is simple: **individual work, shared energy.** You might spend the entire session quietly working. You might ask someone for feedback on an idea. You might meet a designer, founder, consultant, developer, or future collaborator at the table next to you. Both are equally encouraged. ### What We’re Doing Each week, Venture Garden works from a different café in Jersey City as part of our **Venture Garden Café Crawl**. We’re exploring the city while creating an informal network of places where builders can regularly meet, work, and connect. During the session, you can work on things like: * Building or growing your business * Developing a new idea or side project * Writing, designing, researching, or planning * Working through pricing, positioning, or customer questions * Applying for opportunities or finding clients * Getting feedback from another builder * Simply getting an important piece of work finished ### What to Expect The format is intentionally simple. **Arrive. Order something. Introduce yourself. Then work.** There may be a quick introduction at the beginning so everyone knows who is in the room and what people are working on, but most of the session is dedicated to **focused individual work**. Conversation is welcome, but nobody is expected to participate in a group discussion. Think of it less like a traditional meetup and more like a **temporary neighborhood workspace filled with interesting people.** ### Who It’s For Founders. Freelancers. Side hustlers. Consultants. Creatives. Remote workers. Small-business owners. People exploring their next idea. You do not need to already have a company. You just need something you want to work on. ### The Venture Garden Idea Venture Garden is building a local community around entrepreneurship, creativity, and action in Jersey City. Some connections may eventually turn into collaborations, businesses, friendships, clients, investments, or new projects. Others may simply be two people sharing a table and getting a productive hour of work done. Both matter. ### What to Bring Bring your laptop, notebook, headphones, charger, and whatever you’re currently building. Order something from the café, settle in, and work alongside us. **Build your thing. Meet good people. Explore Jersey City.** **Individual work. Shared energy. Real momentum.**

The Quantified Self: Gary Wolf on What AI Can Actually Tell You About Your Data

Thu, Oct 15, 9:00 PM

From Startup Grind NYC

4.7

🚨 **[CLICK HERE TO RSVP](https://www.startupgrind.com/e/my9dfp/)** 👈 This year, OpenAI started letting people connect their medical records and Apple Health data to ChatGPT. Since 2024, Americans can buy a continuous glucose monitor without a prescription. For most of the **[Quantified Self](http://quantifiedself.com/)** movement's history, answering a question with your own data meant manual logs and spreadsheets. Today a sensor collects the data **and an AI model analyzes it on demand**. That leaves every founder building in this space with one hard question: **when an AI's answer changes what someone eats or takes, how do they know it's right?** **[Gary Wolf](http://antephase.com/)** has spent nearly 20 years watching people try to answer questions with their own data. He co-founded Quantified Self with Kevin Kelly, joined the **[WIRED](https://www.wired.com/)** editorial team in 1994, became the first executive producer of **Wired Digital**, and launched **Wired News**. His New York Times Magazine cover story on self-tracking brought the practice to a mainstream audience, and his **[TED talk](https://www.ted.com/talks/gary_wolf_the_quantified_self)** on the subject has been watched more than a million times. His current work is about **AI and personal data**. He's researching a cryptographic protocol to prove where sensor data came from at the moment it's recorded, and writing essays on how people talk to AI chatbots. His new book, **[The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe](http://quantifiedself.com/book/)**, lays out a method anyone can use to test a question against their own data. On **Thursday, October 15**, Gary joins Startup Grind to talk about what AI changes for people using their own data, and what that means for the founders building those products. 🚨 **[CLICK HERE TO RSVP](https://www.startupgrind.com/e/my9dfp/)** 👈 **WHAT YOU'LL LEARN** * **What AI changed for self-trackers:** The analysis Quantified Self members once did by hand, and what a user can now do in one conversation with a model. * **When to trust a model's answer:** How to tell when an AI reading of your sleep or blood sugar holds up, and what a user needs before acting on it. * **Proving where data came from:** Gary's research on verifying sensor data at the moment it's recorded, and what it means for products that make health claims. * **Building around the user's question:** The question, observe, reason, discover method from his new book, and how to design a product around what a user is actually asking. **WHO SHOULD ATTEND** * **AI health and wellness founders:** Your model tells people what their data means, and they're going to act on it. * **Wearable and sensor founders:** You collect the data, and your users can now hand it to an AI to interpret. * **AI product builders in any category:** You're shipping personalized advice and want to hear from someone who has studied how people make sense of their own numbers for nearly 2 decades. * **Founders who track themselves:** You've already asked a chatbot about your sleep data and want to know how far to trust the answer. **Tickets for this event include food and drinks**, as well as time with Gary after the chat to ask about your own product. 🚨 **[CLICK HERE TO RSVP](https://www.startupgrind.com/e/my9dfp/)** 👈 **BONUS:** you'll have an opportunity to purchase Gary's new book and get your copy signed by the author, himself! You'll also meet dozens of other high-performing entrepreneurs who are creating their next big thing. Seriously, it's some of the best founder networking in the city. Getting a ticket guarantees admission. **No waitlisting**. **AGENDA** * 6:00 PM: Networking, Food & Drinks * 7:00 PM: Fireside Chat with Gary Wolf * 8:00 PM: Meet the Speaker + Book Signing And don't miss our other monthly tech events. They are great opportunities for builders, founders, and operators to network with each other to share best practices and find new resources to grow your startup the right way.

Startup Pitch Events NYC: 5 Founders on Stage

Wed, Oct 14, 10:00 PM

From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | New York

4.2

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in New York.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-pitch-events-nyc-5-founders-on-stage-tickets-1999712099721?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** **You've been running the idea past ChatGPT. ChatGPT has never once told you it wouldn't work. Tonight you get a room that will.** Five founders, five minutes each, on a Fifth Avenue rooftop in Manhattan. Wednesday. **Three reasons people come back** * You get a table, not a lap of the room. You pick a topic the room voted on and stay there for the hour, instead of wandering with a drink looking for a gap in somebody else's conversation. * You get a stage short enough to be honest. Five minutes each, no slides read out loud, then the room asks questions. The questions are the good part. * You get the hour after. The stage ends, nobody's performing any more, and the floor stays open. That's the hour people actually remember. **Your ticket is also a login** Most events end when you walk out. This one hands you a link: your profile, who else is coming before you get there, a group chat for this specific Wednesday, and a recap afterwards of who you actually met. Then you land in the New York space and stay there. That's where the second conversation happens, the one you meant to have before the room got loud. Free with your ticket, on the web or in Telegram: [ascentvalley.com/community](https://ascentvalley.com/community) **Is this your room?** Yes, if you're building something, anywhere from the first line of code to Series A. Or you run a function at a company that's scaling, write the code, do the hiring, or you're still deciding whether to start. Probably not, if what you're picturing is a room full of investors. How that actually works is further down, and it's better than the picture. **Want the stage?** Apply at ascentvalley.com/pitch. Five founders an evening, and we answer everybody, including the people we don't pick. Applying is free, but you do need a ticket, because we check the order number. Never pitched before? Five minutes is short enough that it's over before the nerves have finished arriving. **What we don't promise, and what we do instead** We don't promise an investor will be in the room on any given Wednesday. Angels and people who work at funds come, some Wednesdays several of them, and we won't tell you in advance who's coming, because we don't know. We don't run a judging panel, hand out a prize, or keep a leaderboard. Here's what doesn't depend on who walks in that night. Your application to the stage becomes your profile in our startup directory, and a person reads it, not a scoring script. Once you're verified, that profile sits in front of the funds and angels in our network, and they ask for the introduction themselves when your company matches what they're actually looking for. You choose whether you're in the weekly digest and you can leave it any time. We never sell your details, we don't take equity, we don't take a cut of your round, and we don't give investment advice. Which means the room on Wednesday isn't the whole opportunity. It's the part you can see: [ascentvalley.com/pitch](https://ascentvalley.com/pitch) **Why it's worth a Wednesday** Watching somebody explain their company in five minutes teaches you more about explaining yours than another evening alone with the deck. You'll hear the question you've been quietly avoiding get asked out loud to somebody else, and you get to watch how they handle it. That skill travels. It works on a first date, in a performance review, and at the dinner where somebody asks what you do and you've got twenty seconds before their eyes move on. So bring the friend who keeps saying they have an idea. Five minutes on that stage is the shortest distance between having an idea and finding out what a room full of strangers thinks of it.

Or are we on the brink of a revolution that could add decades of healthy, vibrant years to our lives? We're all drowning in the hype: biohacking bros, miracle supplements, and tech billionaires chasing immortality. It's easy to be skeptical. But behind the noise, real science is happening. A fundamental shift is underway in how we think about aging—not as an inevitability, but as a condition that can be understood, managed, and even treated. So, how do we separate the science from the science fiction? Join us for an evening where we cut through the noise. "Longevity Medicine: Beyond the Buzz" brings together the leading minds and the boldest innovators who are turning the dream of a longer healthspan into a clinical reality. First, a no-holds-barred panel discussion with world-class clinicians and researchers. We'll tackle the tough questions: What are the most promising scientific pathways right now? How do we move from theory to practice in the clinic? And critically, how do we ensure these breakthroughs create a healthier future for everyone, not just the privileged few? Then, see the future in action. Get a front-row seat as a curated group of visionary startups present their groundbreaking solutions. These aren't just ideas on a whiteboard; they are the tools and technologies being built today to help us all live healthier, longer. Apply to Pitch right here on the MedStartr Platform with that ticket type below. If you're a clinician, an investor, a founder, or simply someone who believes we can do better than just accepting the decline of aging, this is your event. Let's get past the buzz and get down to the business of building a longer, healthier future. Together. Our panel and pitch contest judges are leaders in the space who have built Longevity innovations, written books about them and are among the most expert in the space. Come ready to listen, learn, and see some of the best new companies building Longevity solutions.
