We’re 10! Founders Network is celebrating its 10th anniversary and you’re all invited!
Sick of video-chat fatigue? Meet i2i was designed from the ground up to be more natural; move around a simple 2D environment with your customizable avatar (like old-school Zelda) to simply enter/exit conversations, and convey focus on one another to make legitimate eye-contact! (patent pending).
We’ll be hosting an old-school social mixer for FN. Join to naturally network with one another, with a mystery band (to be revealed at event) playing on the side. We’ll also have optional side activities for those with a competitive edge or that are feeling socially fatigued. To include at least social bingo, a few races, a rose garden tour and scavenger hunt, and board games of your choosing!
Tyler began Tyler’s Mystery Tours to deliver what he believes is the fruit of life – connections and memories with one another! Tyler’s Mystery Tours specializes in large-group social engagement with tailored events to each unique group and their event goals, and has created 40+ unique activities from Segway Polo to DIY-Mini-Golf to Ice Sculpting, and is creating new ones all the time. Schooled as an Aerospace Engineer and now an expert in social engagement after founding TMT 8 years ago, Tyler engineered Meet i2i to be the most natural and socially-connecting platform feasible, to cure that awkward zoom fatigue and social depreciation!
