Bay Area Founder Networking & Startup Workshop | Mountain View

Join StartupA2Z for a free Bay Area founder networking event at Hacker Dojo in Mountain View on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Designed for startup founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, builders, operators, investors, mentors, and GTM leaders, this in-person Silicon Valley founder meetup combines practical learning with meaningful startup and tech networking.

PRODUCT'S DONE. WHERE'S REVENUE?

Raj Badarinath—a four-time-exit CMO and Founder & CEO of Hivekind.ai—will lead a hands-on go-to-market workshop focused on the fundamentals founders need before investing in more tools, campaigns, or outreach.

You will work through: • Who your ideal customer is—and who is not • What signals show a buyer is ready • What you can credibly claim that competitors cannot • Which category and budget you are competing for • How to position and communicate your value consistently
