AI Founders' Oasis: A Multi-Sensory Experience

This isn't another networking event.

This is a unique, multi-sensory experience designed for founders who are networking-event fatigued and in need of a genuine mental reset and refresh.

We know what you want:

Customers. Investors. Strategic partners. Advisors. Talent.
And yes—they're here.

But we also know what you really need.

Founders' Oasis is where you come to refresh, reset, recharge and rejuvenate so you can return to your company with greater clarity, energy and purpose.

We've spoken with hundreds of founders and engaged with thousands more. One truth keeps surfacing: the quality of your company is deeply influenced by the quality of the founder leading it.

This is closer to a mental spa than a performative networking event.

Why Attend:

• Capital in the room — Investors actively writing checks at the seed-to-Series A stage will be among our featured guests of honor. Real access, not a panel.

• Your next customer might be here — We're bringing in senior operators and enterprise buyers with budget and intent to partner with founders at exactly your stage.

• Resources to scale faster — Get direct access to tools and platforms like MongoDB for Startups, built to support the exact problems you're solving right now.

• Warm relationships before you need them — The founders in this room are potential co-investors, design partners, and collaborators. Meet them now.

• Live music by Matthew Piazzi — A jazz band sets the tone for the evening, and a featured artist brings the kind of energy that makes this feel unlike anything else on the calendar.

• Live art by Mickey Roberts - Mickey Roberts is a self-taught New York–based artist whose playful yet emotionally charged works explore vulnerability, intimacy, and the strange poetry hidden within everyday life. Through distorted figures, bold color, and expressive linework, Roberts creates characters that feel both humorous and deeply human — capturing the emotional weight of ordinary moments often left unspoken.

Who this is for:

• AI founders who have raised a seed or Series A round

• Teams actively building toward their next milestone

• Founders who want meaningful connections, not a business card exchange
