Hey there! We're kicking off a bi-weekly Ethical Red Team Study Group every Saturday for anyone stoked about diving into the world of cybersecurity and red teaming. This is a chill, collaborative space where we’ll dig into the nuts and bolts of stuff like network security, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and ethical hacking principles. Each one-hour session is all about learning together, sharing ideas, and getting hands-on with real-world scenarios.

Spec-driven Development

Sun, Jul 26, 8:00 PM

From New York Code & Coffee

4.8

**Note: You must be RSVP'd (not on the waitlist) for [the main meetup event (NYC Code and Coffee 87 at Datadog HQ)](https://www.meetup.com/new-york-code-coffee/events/315575148/) to attend this session.** AI coding assistants excel at small tasks and isolated features. But when you're building something that spans multiple files and requires upfront planning, they fall apart. Spec-driven development fixes this. Write the spec first, let the AI build from it, then iterate. This talk breaks down how to do it in three phases, what tradeoffs you'll hit, and how to start using it in your next feature

Open Source System Administration Study Group

Sun, Jul 26, 6:00 PM

From Hack Manhattan

4.7

This group will learn about system administration topics with hands-on collaborative learning on a homelab setup of four Dell servers. A description of this session's plan in down below. We’ll deploy components like LDAP(authentication), Ansible (Infrastructure as Code), NextCloud (file storage), OpenStack (Cloud computing), OpenTofu (IaC Terraform fork), containerization and other open source software. We also intend to explore clustering, certainly high-availability and possibly compute clustering. We've setup the hardware, installed the OS, and established procedures and documentation standards. Now we're starting to work in small groups or individually on projects. An under-construction list of project ideas is at https://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/Project_Ideas. We have room for a few new people. Sign up to this event, come and do the exercise, and you're in. Join the Hack Manhattan Discord and say hello. DM me there with your email address so I can sign you up for a wiki account. Please bring a laptop if you can. We'll have a limited number of machines available you can use.

NYC HealthTech Launchathon and ClawCamp

Sat, Aug 1, 1:00 PM

From MedStartr.NYC - a Healthcare Innovation Community

4.5

Presented by MedStartr in Partnership with ClawCamp **You bring the vision. We'll help you launch a company — *in a weekend.*** Healthcare is broken in a hundred ways we all see daily. You've felt it as a patient. diagnosed it as a clinician. doded around it as a builder, and hated it as a person who came into healthcare to help people. The things you see that could be better are hard to fix, and it bothers you that they seem incorrigible. But then you got an idea of something that could help, if you could just build it and get it in the hands of people like you to help patients get better care and the system and caregivers to give better care. We know, we have met thousands of you and ARE you too. That's why we have run this group for almost 18 years and done so many events. But now, with the help of AI and the new MedStartr.ai platform, we can help even more. So we created what we are calling a "Launchathon" to help with all that and this is the first one! The NYC HealthTech Launchathon is your chance to do something about it. No startup experience required. No coding background needed. Just bring your problem, your perspective, and your curiosity — and we'll bring the AI tools, expert faculty, mentors, investors, and community to help you build something real. ***The Program: 3 Phases, 8 Weeks*** **🔶 Phase I · HealthTech ClawCamp · August 1–2** **\*\*Day 1 — August 1 \| Stack AI HQ\, One World Trade Center\*\*** Learn.

Present or Find a problem worth solving — and the team to solve it with. No startup idea or coding required, but bring your passion to build solutions to the problems in healthcare. **Day 2 — August 2 \| Arya Health HQ\, NYC\*\*** ***Build Something Real.*** Build prototypes. Validate ideas. Design workflows. Interview users. Use AI, code, and creativity. Leave Day 2 with something real — a working prototype posted to MedStartr.ai Qualifies you for Phase II (Also Awards of tokens and other great stuff from Day 2 Winners) **🟡 Phase II · MedStartr Crowd Challenge · August 2 – October 6** Your Build goes live on MedStartr.ai where 250,000+ credentialed healthcare stakeholders — patients, clinicians, investors, partners — can review, comment, follow, pilot, and share.

Startup Pitch & Themed Networking New York | Unlock Your Idea

Wed, Aug 5, 10:00 PM

From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | New York

4.1

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in New York.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-pitch-themed-networking-new-york-unlock-your-idea-tickets-1992425373928?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** Most of us are in the same loop. You have an idea. You workshop it with ChatGPT, read another newsletter, tell three friends who don't quite get it. The idea stays in your head. Or worse — it never gets the kind of pushback that would have made it sharper. Research on creative work is clear: people who articulate their idea to like-minded peers begin to understand it deeper. Quality feedback isn't validation — it's the thing that changes how you see your own work. We mix the room on purpose. Different industries see the same process from different angles — that's where value compounds. We ask for your LinkedIn in registration so we can group you with the right people, not random tables. **How the evening runs (3 stages)** **Stage 1 — Themed Networking** You vote on the night's themes through the registration form (Fundraising, HR, GTM, Product, Pricing, Hiring — whichever wins the room). We group you by background. Each group's representative shares the conversation's main takeaway on stage. Featured contributors get a Featured Founder spotlight on ascentvalley.com — that's how the conversation scales across the ecosystem. **Stage 2 — Pitches** 5 curated startups present their idea for live feedback and investor introductions. After the event, we add them to our private founder database and route their application to the right investors inside the Ascent Valley network. **Stage 3 — Chill & Network** The structured part wraps. The bar stays open. The connections you started solidify here — most of our repeat attendees say this is where the real value lands. **Who's in the room** * Accelerator representatives — talent and dealflow scouts from New York-based and EU-wide programs * Investors — angels, fund representatives, scouts from syndicates * Founders, Pre-seed to Series A — building across SaaS, AI, ClimateTech, FinTech, ConsumerTech * Operators — PMs, engineering leads, GTM leaders from scaling startups * Entrepreneurs across industries — fresh perspective is the point * Founders traveling through New York — from Tel Aviv, Berlin, London, NYC, Lisbon nodes * Hiring leads from companies actively scaling teams **About Ascent Valley** Ascent Valley is a 3-layer ecosystem: Community, DealFlow, Events. Our mission is to break local boundaries and enable cross-region growth through real connection between founders, operators, and investors. **Philosophy: [IDEA → PROCESS → RESULT.](https://ascentvalley.com "https://ascentvalley.com")**
