⚽ Special Update: World Cup Watch Party + Somm Hotel Rooftop

This event just got more interesting.

At 1:00 PM on Thursday July 9th, the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals are on, and although Canada didn’t go through, I think it will be a good matchup. Super sad also that Cape Verde didn’t win against Argentina - what an incredible effort!

Heavily favored France will go up against Morocco.

We’re going to start early with a World Cup watch party at Sparkman Cellars. Join us for an optional $50/person additional cost from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, then continue with the Eastside Entrepreneurs gathering from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

And just now, The Woodinville Somm Hotel has come aboard our event.

After the main gathering, we plan to keep the evening going longer on The Somm Hotel rooftop deck, also known as the Shed. You may want a special room rate discount!

Please register in advance so we can plan food, seating, presentations, and food quantities accordingly.

If you’ve been hearing about Eastside Entrepreneurs but haven’t attended yet, summer is the perfect time to jump in. Over the past few months, we’ve been experimenting with different formats, and we’ve been listening carefully to the feedback.

So we’re making a few changes.

July 9th will be more accessible, more interactive, and more focused on what makes this community special: founders helping founders.

🚀 What’s Changing

We’re returning to a simpler format:

• 💳 $30 contribution AND one bottle of wine
• 🍔 Bring your favorite meat, burgers, hot dogs, vegetables, or tofu for the grill
• 👥 More interaction and participation from attendees
• ⚽ Optional 1:00 PM World Cup quarterfinal watch party at Sparkman Cellars
• 🌇 Potential after-event gathering on The Somm Hotel rooftop deck

The goal isn’t to create another networking event. The goal is to create a room where people actively contribute. A room where founders share what they’re building. Where operators discuss lessons learned.

Where investors can hear directly from the people creating the next generation of Eastside companies. And where everyone leaves with at least one new connection, idea, or opportunity.

🌲 A Different Kind of Summer Gathering

July in Woodinville is special.

The patios are full.

The tasting rooms are alive.

The valley is buzzing with visitors, entrepreneurs, and people enjoying the best of Pacific Northwest summer.

Rather than sitting through hours of passive networking, we’re creating an environment where people can participate.

Expect:

• Founder lightning presentations
• Community updates
• Open discussions
• Investor and operator perspectives
• Startup lessons learned
• Technical conversations
• Good food
• Great wine
• A few surprises
• Possibly a little World Cup drama

🎯 Who Should Attend

• Founders building companies
• Investors looking for emerging opportunities
• Operators who enjoy helping builders succeed
• Engineers and technologists
• Future entrepreneurs
• Anyone who believes the Eastside can become a stronger startup ecosystem

The Eastside startup community isn’t built by organizations.

It’s built by people showing up consistently. July 9th is another opportunity to help shape what comes next.

We hope you’ll join us.
