YOUNGTECH JULY RECAP – WHAT. A. MONTH.
Hello YoungTech!
We hope you are doing well.
July and August have been busy months for all of Seattle.
From yachts to rooftops to jam-packed happy hours, we watched Seattle’s next generation of builders, founders, and tech leaders come together in a way we’ve never seen before. Here's the rundown:
🚢 YOUNGTECH YACHT PARTY
100 of you packed the deck as we set sail across Lake Union. Sunsets, beats, and a who's-who of Seattle tech made this the highlight of the summer. If you were there, you already know — and if you missed it, well... there’s always next year. 😎
🧬 SEATTLE TECH WEEK: WE SHOWED UP
🧬 Biotech Happy Hour (co-hosted w/ Bits in Bio, ModernVivo, and CoLabs)
A rooftop packed with scientists, operators, and startup minds — this one set the tone for the entire week.
🥐 Technical Leaders Breakfast (powered by Fenwick, Databricks & Alumni Ventures)
Crisp morning air, strong coffee, and even stronger convos. Engineers, CTOs, and technical founders dove deep into the real work of building.
🌇 STW (UN)Official Afterparty
Our unofficial after party, but possibly the most memorable event of the week. Incredible energy, big ideas, and the best view in the city. Classic YoungTech.
We’re building this community with you, and this month proved the momentum is real. Stay tuned — August has more in store.
