Founders Live New York City has issued a correction to the date of its highly anticipated relaunch event. Originally scheduled for June 26, 2026, the event will now take place on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 6:00pm at The Yard-Herald Square, located at 106 W 32nd St, New York, NY 10001. The organization, which serves as a global network for entrepreneurs, aims to reignite in-person connections among founders, investors, and technology enthusiasts in the New York City area.
The corrected announcement comes after a previous press release on May 29, 2026, contained the erroneous date. Founders Live NYC has assured that all other event details remain unchanged. Those who have already registered for the event do not need to take any action beyond noting the updated date. The event is open to anyone interested in the city's startup and technology landscape, including founders at early-stage startups, investors, and community members.
Founders Live is a global organization operating in over 150 cities and 55 countries. Its mission is to inspire, educate, and connect founders through community-driven support and feedback. The organization is known for its unique pitch competition format, which features five entrepreneurs delivering 99-second pitches followed by four-minute Q&A sessions. Winners advance through regional, national, and global competitions, where exposure can lead to investment opportunities and other benefits.
The relaunch event is particularly significant for the New York City startup ecosystem. After a period of reduced in-person gatherings, Founders Live NYC is re-establishing its presence as a hub for entrepreneurial activity. The event provides a platform for founders to showcase their ideas, receive immediate feedback, and network with potential investors and collaborators. For investors, it offers a window into emerging startups and trends within the local tech scene.
In addition to in-person events, Founders Live offers a new Backchannel community and Backstage Intelligence platform designed to support startup founders in their journey. These resources aim to drive success by providing tools and connections that extend beyond the pitch competition. The organization's growth reflects the increasing importance of community-driven models in the startup world, where peer support and structured feedback can accelerate development and funding.
Attendees can expect a vibrant evening of pitches, networking, and learning. The event will take place at The Yard-Herald Square, a coworking space that fosters collaboration and innovation. Founders Live NYC encourages interested parties to register and join the movement to bolster the city's startup landscape. For more information, visit https://www.founderslive.com.
