☀️ Eastside Entrepreneurs: Woodinville Meetup — Thursday, October 1st, 2026

Join us for another evening of founders, investors, operators, engineers, and builders coming together to share ideas, make connections, and help strengthen the Eastside startup ecosystem.

ANNOUNCING THE BAND: WHISKEY GAELS!

Admission is $20 AND one bottle of wine to share. Please register in advance so we can plan seating, food, and refreshments.

If you’ve been hearing about Eastside Entrepreneurs but haven’t attended yet, early autumn is the perfect time to jump in.

Over the past few months we’ve experimented with different event formats and listened carefully to what people enjoyed most. The feedback was remarkably consistent. People wanted less passive networking and more meaningful interaction. They wanted to hear founder stories, learn from experienced operators, ask questions, and have real conversations with investors and fellow entrepreneurs.

That is exactly what we are building on October 1st.

Admission is simple: $20 AND one bottle of wine to share. That’s it. We want the focus to be on the people in the room, not the ticket price.

This is an evening built around participation. Founders will talk about what they are building. Operators will share lessons learned. Investors will hear directly from the entrepreneurs creating the next generation of Eastside companies. The conversations will not stop when the presentations end—they will continue around the room as people compare notes, solve problems, make introductions, and discover opportunities to work together.

October is one of the best times to be in Woodinville. The patios are full, the wineries are alive, and the valley has an energy that is hard to find any other time of year. It feels like the perfect setting to bring together people who are passionate about building companies, solving problems, and creating opportunities.

Whether you are launching your first startup, scaling a growing company, investing in founders, leading engineering teams, or simply curious about entrepreneurship, you will find people who are generous with their time and honest about both their successes and their failures. Those conversations are often where the greatest value is created. A new customer, a future investor, a co-founder, a key hire, or simply a fresh perspective can all begin with a single introduction.

The Eastside startup community is not built by organizations. It is built by founders, investors, operators, engineers, and entrepreneurs who consistently show up for one another. Every conversation has the potential to become a partnership. Every introduction can lead to a new opportunity. Every founder story can help someone else avoid a mistake or discover a better path forward.

We would love to have you join us:

We are looking forward to another evening of great conversations, new ideas, and new relationships that strengthen both our companies and the Eastside startup community.
