Agenda:


The journey continues in San Mateo — with more stories, connections, and builders around the table.


​If you thrive on real conversations, unexpected collisions, and the kind of energy that only comes when passionate people gather in the same space, you don’t want to miss this.


What:


​eChai is hosting an evening gathering at Sama Cafe in San Mateo on Tuesday, April 15th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM — designed for people who are building, thinking, exploring, or simply curious about the startup world.


​This isn’t your typical networking event. There’s no agenda, no presentations — just real conversations over coffee, surrounded by a community that values shared experiences and mutual growth.


Why:


​In a world full of noise and pitch decks, it’s refreshing to come together without expectations — to listen, exchange ideas, and build relationships that actually matter. These gatherings are about creating space for founders, operators, product folks, and investors to connect on a human level.


​You never know what can come out of a single conversation — a new perspective, a collaboration, or just the comfort of knowing someone else is in the same messy, beautiful phase of building.


How it works:


​Show up. Grab a coffee. Introduce yourself. Or don’t — let the conversations unfold naturally. The event is free to attend; you just pay for what you order at the cafe.
​Registering through eChai helps you see who else is attending, so you can reconnect with familiar faces or discover new ones you’d like to meet.




Who it’s for:


​Whether you’re a first-time founder, a repeat operator, an indie hacker, or someone simply exploring the space — you’ll find thoughtful, like-minded people here who are all navigating different parts of the same journey.


​If you’d like to join us or co-host a future gathering, feel free to DM me.
Let’s keep building — together.

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
