About this event

Many founders begin with a simple goal: solve a problem. But as success scales, new challenges emerge: maintaining quality, building trust, and sustaining growth.

For Kevin Hu, Co-founder and CEO of Metaplane, the path from idea to scaled impact was fueled by a commitment to building trust in data. Driven by a need to address widespread data quality issues, Kevin’s journey led him to create a data observability platform that has become essential for high-growth companies in complex fields like biotech and finance.

Drawing on experiences from Metaplane’s journey through Y Combinator, Kevin has honed the art of scaling trust in data — a critical element for businesses at any stage of growth.

At this event, Kevin will share how he built Metaplane’s approach to scalable, reliable data systems that meet the demands of today’s fast-paced, data-intensive sectors. He'll show you how to turn big challenges into trusted solutions, and share key strategies to navigate growth, regulation, and data reliability for your own venture.

Join us on Tuesday, Dec 10 and discover insights on designing growth-ready data systems and creating value through data integrity as your venture evolves. You'll learn how to:

  • establish and maintain data trust at scale
  • create a culture where quality and innovation go hand-in-hand
  • and navigate common data quality issues that cause broken dashboards or inaccurate data

Tickets for this event include food and drinks, as well as exclusive access to this data-driven entrepreneur who will show you how data observability can secure your business’s data foundation, support strategic decisions, and build trust with stakeholders. 

You'll also meet dozens of other high-performing entrepreneurs who are creating their next big thing. Seriously, it's some of the best founder networking in the city.

Getting a ticket guarantees admission. No long lines outside. No waitlist.

We're meeting LIVE AND IN-PERSON at The Yard, a coworking space at the intersection of innovation, creativity, design, & play -- with locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Philly, and DC -- with a variety of shared and private workspace options. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a visit, you can do so here.
