Why this exists

The Gator tech network, in San Francisco.

University of Florida alumni are already building, investing, operating, and leading across the Bay Area. Gators in Tech: SF creates a shared room for that network to meet, reconnect, and help each other move faster.

The Evening

What to expect.

01

Arrive

Walk into a room that feels like it was built for you. Food, drinks, and a density of Gators you didn’t know were in the city.

02

Connect

This isn’t random mingling. The room is curated so intros happen naturally — founders meet operators, investors meet builders.

03

Leave energized

Walk out with relationships that outlast the evening. The follow-up text the next morning is where the real value starts.

Experience

Built around the conversations that actually matter.

I

Alumni & Operator Network

A trusted room for Gators leading product, engineering, design, and go-to-market across the Bay Area — where intros and follow-ups actually happen.

II

Founder & Executive Connections

Substantive conversations among founders, executives, and investors building and backing companies across the SF tech ecosystem.

III

SF Tech Community

An evening grounded in alumni density that sits naturally inside the SF tech calendar — useful to anyone serious about building here.

The Gator network already runs across the Bay Area. This is the room where it meets.

An evening built for the conversations that lead to the next company, the next hire, the next idea worth backing.
