How to List Your Event on 47Hz and Reach Founders

You have put together a great event — a founders dinner, a pitch night, a panel on AI, a happy hour during tech week. The venue is booked, the speakers are confirmed, and the food is ordered. But how do you actually get the right people in the room? Posting on Eventbrite and hoping for the best is not a strategy. You need to reach founders, operators, and investors who are actively looking for events like yours.

That is what 47Hz is for. We curate tech and startup events across 18+ cities and put them in front of the exact audience you want — people who attend events to build real relationships, not to collect free pizza. Here is exactly how to list your event and get it in front of the right people.

What Is 47Hz?

47Hz is a curated event directory for the startup and tech ecosystem. We cover events in cities like San Francisco, New York, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and more. Unlike Eventbrite or Meetup, every listing is curated — no spam, no outdated events, no yoga classes mixed in with your pitch nights.

Our audience is founders, startup operators, investors, and people building in the tech ecosystem. If your event serves that community, it belongs on 47Hz.

Step-by-Step: How to List Your Event

Step 1: Go to the Submit Event Page

Visit 47hz.com/submit-event to start your listing. The form is simple and takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Step 2: Fill in Your Event Details

You will need the following information:

• Event name. Keep it clear and specific. "SaaS Founders Dinner — SF" is better than "Networking Night."
• Date and time. Include the timezone. If it is a multi-day event, list the start and end dates.
• Location. Full address or venue name. If it is a private address, you can list the neighborhood and share the exact address with confirmed attendees.
• Description. Tell people what to expect. Who is this event for? What will happen? Is food or drinks included? Is there a speaker or panel? Keep it to 150–300 words.
• Event link. Your registration page URL (Eventbrite, Luma, Partiful, or your own site).
• Event type. Select the category that best fits: dinner, happy hour, panel, pitch night, hackathon, workshop, demo day, or other.

Step 3: Submit for Review

Once you submit, our team reviews every listing to make sure it is relevant to the startup and tech community. Most listings are approved within 24 hours. We may reach out if we need clarification on the event details.

We do not approve everything. Events must be relevant to founders, operators, investors, or the broader tech community. Generic networking events, MLM meetups, and sales pitches disguised as panels do not make the cut.

Step 4: Your Event Goes Live

Once approved, your event appears on the city page for your location. It is also included in our weekly event roundups and may be featured on our social channels. Your listing stays live until the event date passes, then it is automatically archived.

That is it. No account required, no payment, no upsells. Just list your event and reach the people who matter.

What Makes a Great Event Listing

Not all listings perform the same. Here is what separates the events that fill up from the ones that do not:

Be Specific About Who Should Attend

"Open to everyone" is a red flag for serious founders. The best events say exactly who they are for: "Series A–B SaaS founders," "AI engineers with 3+ years experience," "first-time founders in the healthcare space." Specificity attracts the right people and filters out the wrong ones.

Set the Right Expectations

Tell people what they are walking into. Is it a structured panel with Q&A, or an informal happy hour? Is there a dress code? Will food be served? How many people will be there? The more context you provide, the more comfortable people feel registering.

Use a Strong Event Name

Your event name is the first thing people see. Make it descriptive and compelling. Compare:

• Weak: "Tech Networking Event"
• Better: "Founders Happy Hour — Downtown SF"
• Best: "Seed-Stage SaaS Founders Dinner with [VC Name]"

The best names tell you exactly who is there and why you should care.

Submit Early

List your event at least 2–3 weeks before the date. Events submitted with less than a week of lead time get less visibility because there is less time for them to appear in roundups and for people to plan around them. For major tech weeks like SF Tech Week or NYC Tech Week, submit 4–6 weeks early to catch the wave of planning activity.

Why List on 47Hz Instead of Just Eventbrite?

Eventbrite is a ticketing platform, not a discovery platform. People go to Eventbrite when they already know what event they want to attend. They come to 47Hz to discover events they did not know existed. Here is the difference:

• Curation. Every event on 47Hz is reviewed by a human. Your event is not buried under thousands of irrelevant listings.
• Audience. Our visitors are founders, operators, and investors actively looking for events. They are not browsing yoga classes and cooking workshops.
• City focus. Each city page is a dedicated feed of local tech events. If you are hosting in SF, your event appears alongside other SF startup events — not mixed in with global noise.
• Free. No listing fees, no ticket commissions, no premium tiers. We make money through partnerships, not by charging event organizers.

Promoting Your Event Beyond 47Hz

Listing on 47Hz is a strong first step, but the best event promotion uses multiple channels. Here is a checklist:

1. Post on X/Twitter. Share the event link with a short description of who should attend and why. Tag relevant people and communities. Use city-specific hashtags like #SFTechWeek or #NYCStartups.
2. Share in Slack and Discord groups. Post in local founder and tech communities. Most cities have dedicated Slack workspaces for the startup community.
3. Email your list. If you have a newsletter or mailing list, announce the event to your subscribers. Personal invitations convert better than public posts.
4. Ask speakers and sponsors to share. Every speaker and sponsor has their own network. Give them a pre-written message they can share with their audience.
5. Post on LinkedIn. Especially effective for professional events, panels, and conferences. LinkedIn's algorithm currently favors event-related content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it cost anything to list on 47Hz?

No. Listing your event on 47Hz is completely free. No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no ticket commissions.
