SF New Tech is the the Bay Area’s largest and longest running monthly technology event and networking mixer for people who can’t get enough of technology.
SF New Tech evolved from its first “meetup” of eight geeks talking about tech over cold pints at the Mars Bar back in March 2006, to a cornerstone of the Bay Area technology community; now serving over 5,000 tech industry movers and shakers, VCs, journalists, hackers, developers, recruiters who are signed up to hear about our super-fun standing-room-only events.
SF New Tech is a fun factory for serious entrepreneurs… an event which brings together hot startups, aspiring startups, and the groupies who love them. Add a little booze and an industrial-design bar venue, and you have a gathering which transcends a business event, and becomes a monthly destination for the hip in high-tech –SF Examiner
Why SF New Tech
SF New Tech’s stage is a platform for young startups and established companies alike, to show off what they’ve been working on in front of a room full of people who actually care.
Most demos are done by the founders, CEOs, or lead developers of some of the most innovative companies around.
Each company (or developer) gets 5 minutes (sharp!) to strut their stuff under the spotlight and on the big screen and then another 5 minutes (sharp!) to answer tough questions from the audience.
Live demos and hot-seat discussions are what it’s all about. When tough questions from SF’s digerati cause the presenters to squirm, we know we’re doing something right.

SF New Tech was founded by, and is produced & hosted by Myles Weissleder, who’s been pushing pixels for over 15 years. Myles learned a lot about bringing like-minded folks together to make a difference as one of the “founding fathers” of Meetup.com. He is proud to have been able to grow what was once just a tiny meetup, into an a Bay Area institution.
The SF New Tech office is anchored off the shore of Sausalito, CA perhaps one of the only floating offices at the center of the technology world and in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. You’re invited to kayak up and say hello any time!
