Hi! We're the folks behind Wefunder and XX. A few months ago, we built a tipi in our backyard to host our founder gatherings. It turned out it was a pretty epic place to talk about the things that really matter. Now, we want to spread the magic to more people!
We try to avoid talking about work (except how it relates to our passions). Instead, we dive into meaningful, deep, and authentic stories; to make real connections with others. In a tipi. With s'mores! Because why not?
Every Saturday, we invite a dozen aspiring s'more-makers that we think should meet. We curate people who are amazing in some way. We see our role as matchmakers for great conversation. We hope you'll leave with a couple of new friends!
While we've managed to fit over 20 people in the tipi, we usually try to keep it to about a dozen.
We like being around really interesting and motivated people. That's pretty much it.
Nick Tommarello - the founder & CEO of Wefunder - lives in the house.
Nope.
We have vegan s'mores also. :)
Red wine, white wine, scotch, and various s'more supplies.
Sure! We won't turn down any food or drinks. But you are not obligated.
Each Saturday, a different Chief S'more Officer (CSO) is in charge of making sure the conversation flows smoothly and everyone is included. Each CSO has their own unique way of doing this. But come prepared with at least one good story to share!
Not much. Be nice to others. Don't talk about the details of work (unless related to your passion or a major life decision). Give a chance for everyone to talk. Go deeper. Share more. And what happens in the tipi stays in the tipi!
Yes, but no more than one without telling us in advance. We gotta make sure everyone fits!
Either apply here... or find someone who has already been invited to bring you.
We choose a dozen people to meet each Saturday. We try to choose awesome people who have similiar interests.
