Startup Happy Hour with Technovate Founder Farid Ismayilzada
Join us on Tuesday, April 28 at LogOff Brewing in Rancho Cordova for a relaxed networking event designed for people who are building companies, testing ideas, and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship.
The evening will feature an Ask Me Anything conversation with Technovate Founder Farid Ismayilzada, along with plenty of time to connect with other founders in the region.
A Space Built for Founders
Startup Happy Hour was created to give entrepreneurs a place to connect without the pressure of formal pitches or presentations. It is a space where real conversations happen.
Founders attend to meet peers, exchange ideas, and learn from others who understand the realities of starting and growing a business. Some come looking for collaborators or mentors, while others simply want to be around people who are building something of their own.
If you are an early stage founder, entrepreneur, or small business owner, this event gives you the opportunity to expand your network while gaining new perspectives from others in the startup community.
AMA Guest: Farid Ismayilzada, Founder of Technovate
This month’s featured AMA guest is Farid Ismayilzada, Founder of Technovate Investments.
Farid is a serial entrepreneur and venture builder who has founded and exited multiple companies, including GoldenPay, Azerbaijan’s leading online payment platform. He is currently leading Elven Technologies, developing fireproof materials for EV batteries, and Uniic, a platform focused on creator driven engagement.
Farid has lived and worked across Azerbaijan, Turkey, and the United States, and brings a global perspective to building and scaling startups.
During the AMA conversation, Farid will share lessons from building companies, expanding into global markets, and navigating the challenges founders face as they grow.
Great Conversations and Great Food
In addition to the AMA conversation, Startup Happy Hour gives attendees time to meet other founders and entrepreneurs in a casual setting.
Appetizers will be provided, creating a welcoming environment where conversations can flow naturally. Whether you come with a question, a challenge, or curiosity about what others are building, you will find people ready to connect.
Many founders leave the event with new relationships, ideas, and opportunities that continue long after the evening ends.
