“I wanted a way to build genuine relationships with people who share my curiosity — not just my industry.”
First Sip was born out of frustration with stiff career fairs, cold LinkedIn messages, and events where everyone just exchanges business cards they'll never look at again. It's a more human, more efficient way to network.
