Agenda:

Join us on June 26, Thursday, for an open, casual meetup of founders and startup folks in Philadelphia.

The eChai Startup Social is a simple idea — show up, grab a coffee or your drink of choice, and connect with people who are building, investing, or exploring what’s next. There’s no agenda, no stage — just real conversations in a relaxed setting. You pay for what you order, and take away whatever the conversation brings.

You might meet early-stage founders, team members, investors, or operators — or simply someone on a similar journey. Every city brings its own mix, and every gathering is its own vibe.

What makes this special? It’s part of a global moment. On the same day, these socials will take place across 20 cities — from San Francisco to Singapore, Dublin to Dubai, Surat to Seattle.

It's a quiet but powerful signal: wherever you are, you’re not building alone.

Come by. Say hello. See what happens.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
