SF Social Club - Nov 16th, 2025
Your backstage pass to SF's top tech & startup events this week
Matthew Taksa
November 16, 2025
Happy Sunday SF Social Club! The holiday season is fast approaching, but that doesn’t mean the city is slowing down. We’ve curated a list of over a dozen fantastic events coming up in the Bay!
SF Social Club is brought to you by Matthew Taksa (Investor at Cold Start Ventures). Since late 2022, I’ve hosted over 100 tech events in San Francisco and built a community of 10,000+ people along the way. Why? Because I’ve seen firsthand that the city feels most alive when founders, engineers, and dreamers come together in person.
Interested in getting involved?
This Week’s Sponsor - Lex
Lex is building the 'Spotify of books.' In other words, the #1 reading app on the Internet. We envision a world where the vast majority of ebooks and audiobooks are free, where you can read, listen, and discover new titles all in one place.
If you’re interested in helping us make it happen, visit our jobs page.
Otherwise, sign up for the waitlist for our initial release on December 25th, 2025.
