The #1 startup community in NYC, SF, and LA
The community for founders, investors, and creators building their own communities.
Anwar Events is for people who build communities—founders growing user bases, investors cultivating networks, and creators building audiences. We throw our own event series across NYC, SF, and LA: dinners, mixers, pitch nights, and summits. Not a conference company. A community for community builders.
Who We Serve
For founders, investors, and creators who are building their own communities.
Founders Building Communities

Investors Building Networks
VCs, angels, and LPs who know that the best deals come from relationships. Build your investor community, source quality deal flow, and connect with founders before anyone else.
Creators Building Audiences
Creators and influencers turning followers into communities. Share growth tactics, find collaboration partners, and learn from others building audiences across platforms.
