Taking the first SF cohort now
Your {{ rotatingWord }} has a sponsor.
Kanpai matches event hosts — book clubs, salons, hackathons, monthly meetups — with startups who want to be in the room. Hosts stop paying for it themselves. Startups get forty of the right people, and can pay in money, space, food or product.
Book clubs
Salons
Hackathons
Monthly meetups
For example: a 40-person AI dinner in the Mission, sponsored at $2,000. The sponsor gave a three-minute demo and took a seat at the table.
How it works
- 01 Describe the room. Date, headcount, and who actually shows up.
- 02 We bring you a sponsor. Matched from a vetted list — money, a venue, food, or all three.
- 03 Settled before the event. Cash through Stripe, or a venue on the calendar.
- 01 Tell us what you can offer. A budget, your office on a Thursday, or a keg.
- 02 See real rooms. Upcoming events, guest mix spelled out, priced.
- 03 Back it and show up. One click, Stripe handles the rest.
