These are weekly coffee meet-ups to increase and enhance the vibrancy of the great Pasadena tech and start-up community. We have a cross section of interested innovators (investors, entrepreneurs, programmers, CTO’s, VC’s, angels, etc) who are eager to more actively engage with other members of our local community. These sessions occur every Friday from 8:20am to 9:40am and are informal. We typically have a short structured presentation on a specific topic or do a deeper dive on a local company. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
“ This was my first time attending an event there. Very enjoyable! ”
“ What a true joy and inspiration it is to share these Friday mornings together.
“ High energy – lots of great people to meet. Always well organized, excellent speakers. ”
“ I enjoyed the group and am looking forward to attending more events in the future. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! ”
“ The co-organizers do an astounding job at bringing talent, knowledge and even wisdom to a community of creators and innovators that Innovate Pasadena does as much to shape as to serve. They’ve somehow figured out how to bring very driven people together with both a sense and a purpose of mutual support and often collaboration. ”
“ Excellent networking group that is truly nurturing tech businesses in Pasadena ”

Ever walk into a networking event and all you hear is the drone of superficial chit-chat? We often use small talk to fill gaps in socially awkward situations. Now, science is showing that replacing questions like “What do you do?” for more open-ended ones like, “What’s your story?” can lead to more genuine and productive connections and increased happiness.
