Only the best companies in the world offer relocation. Only the best talent gets it.
The engineers rebuilding AI are not all from here. They're being pulled from London, Singapore, Toronto, Tel Aviv — and the companies bringing them in are quietly doing something bigger than hiring. They're rebuilding San Francisco.
But talent doesn't move alone. They come with partners, kids, and lives that need rebuilding: visas, taxes, compliance, housing, schools. Get it wrong and your best hire is distracted for months. Get it right and they're contributing from day one.
Yet, most founders don't think about relocation until it's already a problem.
Come hang out for canapes & drinks. A small, curated room of 30 seed to Series C founders, exited operators, engineers, designers, and investors from all over the world — to talk about how you're attracting world-class talent, supporting them through the move, and closing the time-to-productivity gap that kills momentum at every growth stage.
We'll get into the strategy too: how the companies in this room are leading the SF talent resurgence, and what it actually takes to keep the momentum going.
New in town or thinking about making the move? You're invited too.
