Redstring Social 2026
An annual gathering by Redstring for founders, operators and people with ambitious execution.
What is Redstring?
Talent discovery, built differently.
Redstring is a talent discovery platform for fast-moving teams.
Instead of spending hours searching through profiles, job boards and databases, tell Redstring who you're looking for.
It understands the context behind the role and helps you discover relevant people faster.
You don't search for talent. You find them.
Founders
Building early and growth-stage companies.
Operators
Working closely with founders.
Builders
People with something useful to share.
The room we wanted to create
Redstring Social is built around the room.
A room where founders can talk about what they're building, the people they're looking for, the problems they're stuck on and the things they can help someone else with.
The 2026 Edition
The Empty Seat Edition — Get your best people
Every company has an empty seat.
Sometimes it's an engineer. Sometimes it's a designer. Sometimes it's your first sales hire.
And sometimes the missing person isn't an employee at all, it's an investor, customer, advisor or founder who can help you move forward.
This year's Redstring Social is about those missing connections.
Come with something you need.
Come with something you can give.
What happens at Redstring Social?
Problems worth solving with people worth meeting.
Live talent discovery
Founders with real hiring requirements will use Redstring live and discover candidates for roles they're actively trying to fill.
Behind Your Startup
The first yes, the wrong assumption, the disagreement, the unexpected hire or the moment things almost went wrong.
The Missing Link
Tell us one thing you need and one thing you can help someone else with. We will make a few introductions that probably should have happened already.
Dinner & conversations
No forced networking rounds. Just good food and enough time to continue the conversations worth continuing.
Who will be in the room?
A smaller room. Better conversations.
- Founders building early and growth-stage companies.
- Operators working closely with founders.
- People actively building and hiring teams.
- People who have something useful to share with someone else in the room.
What would you be leaving with?
At least one person or one idea you didn't know before you walked in.
- Maybe you discover someone worth interviewing.
- Maybe you meet another founder solving a problem you've already faced.
- Maybe somebody makes the introduction you've been trying to get for months.
- Maybe you simply leave with a clearer answer to something you're working through.
There doesn't need to be a forced outcome.
