Founder Beach Walk – OC Tech Week 10/23/2026

Founder Beach Walk is a relaxed Friday morning for founders, builders, and creatives who want to meet good people and make real connections.

No pitch decks. No name tags. Just movement, ocean air, and conversations worth having.

Join them Friday, October 23 from 9:30AM to 11:30AM at Ticket 500, 2807 Villa Way, Newport Beach, CA 92663. Street parking is available on Villa Way and surrounding streets in the Cannery Village area. Metered parking applies — they suggest paying with the ParkMobile app. They recommend arriving a few minutes early to find a spot!

This month's theme: Find Your Next Wave

What’s your next wave, and who would you love to meet to help you get there?

Come ready with your answer.

Here's the flow:

  • Arrive at 9:30 AM — Meet them at Ticket 500.

  • Quick welcome + elevator pitches + group photo

  • They head out — down 28th Street, onto the boardwalk, and out to the end of Newport Pier (~1.5 miles round trip)

  • On the way there — rotating conversation partners every 6 minutes

  • On the way back — open walk, talk to whoever you'd like

  • Back at Ticket 500 — exchange info, say your goodbyes

Who should come:

Founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious people who value real connection over transactional networking. If you're building something, or figuring out what you want to build, you belong here.

This is the 2nd Friday of every month. Come once, come every time.

Join their WhatsApp community to stay connected between walks.

RSVP so they know you're coming.
