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, August 14 from 9:30AM to 12:00PM at Newport Pier, Newport Beach, CA 92663. Street parking is available along Balboa Blvd and surrounding streets. The Newport Pier public parking lot is located directly at the pier. Metered parking applies — bring quarters or use the ParkMobile app.
This month's theme: Early Traction
What did your first real traction look like, and what did you do to get there?
Come ready to share your answer. Every person's perspective will be different depending on where they are in their journey, and that's exactly what makes it worth talking about.
Here's the flow:
9:30 AM — Grab your coffee at Newport Coffee Co. (10% off if you mention you're with our Founder Beach Walk crew!) and bring it over to the meeting spot
9:30–10:15 AM — Mingle at the teal sphere fountain by Newport Pier. Look for their Founder Beach Walk sign!
10:15 AM — Quick welcome + elevator pitches + group photo
10:30–11:15 AM — Walk to Balboa Pier with rotating conversation partners (~7 min each)
11:15 AM–12:00 PM — Open walk back. Find who you clicked with. Meet those you haven't yet.
12:00 PM — Back at Newport Pier. 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.
RSVP so they know you're coming. See you on the sand.
Attendees can enjoy 10% off at Newport Coffee Co. on the morning of the event.
