Hello SF Social Club, we’ve curated a list of over a dozen fantastic events going on in the city this week! SF Social Club is brought to you by Matthew (CEO at Caladan) and Jessie (Angel Investor). Since late 2022, we’ve hosted over 100 tech events in San Francisco and built a community of 10,000+ people along the way. Why? Because we’ve seen firsthand that the city feels most alive when founders, engineers, and dreamers come together in person. SF Social Club is our way of curating the city’s best events and hosting our own community mixers, so everyone can find their tribe.
