About this event

Every startup founder begins with a mission to solve a pressing problem. (If you didn't, you're just a vitamin.)

But as your company grows, new challenges emerge, requiring you to adapt, innovate, and think bigger.

For Tiffany Ricks, founder and CEO of HacWare, this journey led to a unique intersection: the convergence of AI and cybersecurity. Starting with a consulting service and evolving into an AI-driven platform, Tiffany has consistently addressed the complexities of technical development, market demands, and the ever-evolving threat landscape.

All while navigating a male-dominated industry and expanding a startup during economic uncertainty.

But how does a founder like Tiffany ensure that the solutions she builds not only meet today’s challenges, but also anticipate tomorrow’s? And how can the integration of AI elevate your startup’s impact?

Join us on Tuesday, September 17th to hear directly from Tiffany as she shares her experience in transforming HacWare into a leader in cybersecurity education. Learn how to leverage AI to stay ahead, make critical decisions that shape your product’s future, and maintain your startup’s core mission amidst rapid technological change.

Attendees will also receive a free cybersecurity awareness course as a special giveaway!

Tickets for this event include food and drinks, as well as exclusive access to this entrepreneur who will show you how to take small, actionable steps toward integrating AI into your business, and explore ways to protect your investments by prioritizing cybersecurity.

You'll also meet dozens of other high-performing entrepreneurs who are creating their next big thing. Seriously, it's some of the best founder networking in the city.

Getting a ticket includes food, drinks, and guarantees admission. No long lines outside. No waitlist.

We're meeting LIVE AND IN-PERSON at The Yard, a coworking space at the intersection of innovation, creativity, design, & play -- with locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Philly, and DC -- with a variety of shared and private workspace options. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a visit, you can do so here.

And don't miss our recurring founder social events over coffee or cocktails. It's a great opportunity for operators to network with each other to share best practices and find new resources to build your startup the right way. See the full event lineup here.
