Our Story

Game nights, great conversations, and everything in between.

Meet people outside your usual circle, over something you have in common.

Sip & Scale is where founders, operators, investors, creatives, and students meet, along with people still figuring out what’s next. We’re spread across cities and cultures, and most of us have a lot more going on than our jobs.

So that’s where our events begin. A game night, a few hours on the court, a table full of strangers who won’t stay strangers for long. Every one feels like a Friday night out, and the conversation never gets stuck on “what do you do?”
