The Everything Marketplaces community has quickly grown to 2,200+ marketplace founders, teams, & leaders. With the growth of the community, we've been focused on creating stronger connections with our members. This is one of the reasons why you'll notice that we've started doing meetups in cities like New York City, which also helps bring together and build up the local marketplace startup community.

We recently held a community & marketplace meetup on 4/4 in New York City, which was at FJ Labs. We had a really great turnout with 50+marketplace founders, teams, & leaders. We also had some of our past group chat guests like Katerina Petraki, Brendan Candon, Andrew Blachman, and Jeff Weinstein join us. It was one of our smaller meetups, where we all had a chance to meet and have a fun evening chatting about marketplaces. We shared a recap post with 50+ pictures in the community that you can see here. We wanted to share more about it on our blog to help highlight some of our New York City community members.

Here's a few pictures from the meetup:
