eChai SF is Gaining Momentum

Fremont’s startup energy is picking up — and it’s only getting better.

Last week, Khyati Brahmbhatt hosted the first eChai Startup Mixer in Fremont — and it felt different in the best way. Founders came with ideas, shared what they were building, and got into conversations that weren’t surface-level.

People showed up — curious, honest, and open to learning from each other.

From someone sharing their early MVP to a group jamming on what growth looks like — it was a reminder of what real community feels like when it’s driven by builders themselves.

Now Khyati is taking it forward with more meetups:

April 15, Tuesday – Where Builders Meet Over Brews
An evening for founders and operators to connect, swap stories, and hang out in a relaxed setting.
at Sama Coffee Shop, San Mateo, California.

RSVP here

April 24, Thursday – AI Founders Circle
Live product demos, real conversations, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build in AI today.
at PlayGround Studio, 2727 Walsh Ave, Suite 101, Santa Clara, CA.
RSVP here

If you're in the Bay Area and building something — these are the rooms you'll want to be in.

Hosted by Khyati Brahmbhatt with eChai Ventures.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. 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."

"eChai has been a game changer in my journey. It connected me with real people, real support and real opportunities. From building HMMBiz to launching Mindalcove, eChai has played a key role at every step. Grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in growing together."

Hardik Manwani

CTO, Mind Alcove

"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."
