NYC Ultimate Networking Event: Entrepreneurs & Founders Social

Some of the best ecommerce intelligence does not arrive from a stage. It shows up when founders compare what is actually happening inside acquisition, sourcing, fulfillment, marketplaces, and the AI workflows being inserted between them. Ecom Network is bringing that conversation to Sugar Mouse NYC for an evening built around operators meeting other operators.

Commerce founders are navigating a growing number of connected systems. A brand may sell through Shopify, Amazon, social platforms, and wholesale channels while managing sourcing, marketing, customer service, and inventory across separate tools. The opportunity in a focused networking room is not generic visibility. It is finding the person who has already tested the channel, supplier, workflow, or operating assumption you are about to spend money learning.

What the event is built around

• Peer exchange on ecommerce growth, operations, marketing, and sales
• AI-enabled sourcing, procurement, and multiplatform commerce workflows
• Founder introductions, partnerships, customer conversations, and practical feedback
• Cross-channel operating lessons from DTC and marketplace sellers
• An informal setting designed for direct conversation rather than a formal program

Who should have it on the radar

The gathering is intended for ecommerce founders, operators, brand builders, online sellers, agencies, technology providers, and people selling through Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart, or social platforms. Tickets are sold through the official Luma page, and remaining tiers may change as capacity fills.

What to watch

Ecom Network is the organizer, with Andrew Cheng, Chris Tieu, and Jacqueline Pereira listed as hosts. Alibaba.com is the named community partner, and the event page highlights Accio Work in the context of AI-supported sourcing and procurement. No formal speaker roster is published, so DevCuration is not inventing one. The value of this room is the operator-to-operator exchange.
