Small, practical gatherings where you actually build — not just listen to panels.
Our philosophy
We're not hosting 500-person events with name tags. Every FSI event is under 50 people, hands-on, and ends with something shipped. First events launch with our 2026 cohort.
Join the waitlist — we open registration 3 weeks before each event.
