While everyone’s talking about “crushing it,” @TreyHolterman (founder/CEO of Tennr) kept it refreshingly real at NY Tech Week:
1. You’ll be wrong constantly
2. The hardest advice is usually the right one
3. Curiosity beats intelligence every single time
This is what building actually looks like.

WE ARE SO READY FOR SF AND LA
oh and thanks for the calendar glow up 🥰
hi! we just launched SF + LA Tech Week and it’s crazy to say (I know I say this every time) but it really is true - it’s the biggest one yet. we’ve broken more records and now have 1,500+ events, over 2x last year’s launch!
SF Tech Week: Oct 6-12
LA Tech Week: Oct 13-19
Register for events here: tech-week.com/calendar
SF is on fire, on track to be home to the biggest Tech Week. When we first started @Techweek_, it was right after COVID, and we saw so many founders relocating outside the Bay Area to cities all over the US. That first year, SF Tech Week was actually the smallest. This year, it’s set to be the largest. We’ve doubled the number of SF events at launch year over year, a clear signal showing just how much the AI wave is fueling the city’s growth. And this is shaping up to be *the* week for tech in the city.
LA was home to the very first Tech Week, and it’s special for me to see how much it’s grown. What makes LA unique is the mix of industries here. We’re seeing two in particular take off - AI in entertainment and deep tech. The best part is how the ecosystem really comes together around Tech Week to champion the city, with so many LA investors and GPs hosting.
One of the biggest pieces of feedback we’ve heard from attendees is that now that Tech Week has gotten so big, we need more ways to discover events most relevant to you. So, this year we’ve put together curated tracks: future of work in SF, entertainment in LA, investor-focused events, hard tech, fintech, hackathons, and more.

people always say: “i don’t wanna go to this event by myself, it’ll be so awkward.”
i'm here to tell you to EMBRACE THE AWK.
here’s why:
- awkward is universal. everyone feels it. you’re just the one saying it out loud.
- awkward is the fastest icebreaker. “wow this is awkward” = instant conversation.
- awkward moments turn into funny stories later (“remember when we both stood by the snack table for 10 mins?”).
- awkward gets you out of autopilot. it’s where the good stuff happens: new intros, unexpected convos, weird connections (you know it)
awkward = opportunity. lean in.
See you at SF Tech Week. RSVP below

a lot of people ask us why they should do two back-to-back tech weeks. it’s a fair question.
sf and la have *completely* different flavors. sf leans ai, infra, the systems and people building the next layer of the internet.
la brings together creators, media, entertainment, and consumer energy. So the translation of that tech into culture.
if you’re traveling in, you make the most of your time here. and if you’ve been in sf for too long, this is your time to expand your orbit..
imho when you do them together, you get a full picture of where tech is headed.
