The First Annual Pond BBQ & Founder Hangout
Thursday, August 7th – Near Pittsburgh, PA
Real connection. Honest stories. Conversations that actually matter.
We’re bringing together a curated group of growth-minded founders for a laid-back backyard BBQ — built around good food, real people, and the kind of conversations that actually move the needle.
The First Annual — and just the beginning.
