Silicon Valley’s latest trend isn’t another crypto startup or AI revolution - it’s learning how not to be a complete social disaster.

Slow Ventures just dropped a hilarious “Etiquette Finishing School” that’s basically charm school for tech founders who apparently missed the memo on basic human interaction. With a cheeky three-hour workshop at the Four Seasons, they’re teaching tech’s finest how to shake hands without causing an awkward cringe and speak in public without inducing collective secondhand embarrassment.

From Feral to Fabulous

Apparently, the tech world has gotten so socially inept that founders are literally signing up to learn how to be less “feral”. Sam Lessin from Slow Ventures gets real: tech isn’t just a playground anymore - it’s changing entire ecosystems, and people are scared. The message? Learn to be respectful, not just disruptive.

The Caviar and Confidence Combo

The workshop wasn’t just about avoiding social faux pas. They went full bougie with a fashion show demonstrating proper attire and a closing lesson on wine and caviar. Because nothing says “I’m a professional” like knowing the difference between a Cabernet and a casual catastrophe.

The Startup Charm Offensive

While Y Combinator’s Garry Tan might have side-eyed the entire concept, hundreds of founders were desperate to get a spot in this exclusive crash course. The result? Fifty lucky participants got a crash course in turning their tech bro energy into something slightly more… civilized.

In a world where tech can feel increasingly impersonal, maybe a little finishing school isn’t the worst idea after all.
