About this event
Apply for an invite to a Founders Dinner: real conversations and connections with an intimate vetted group of owners, founders, and exited entrepreneurs.
What is the Founders Dinner?
The Founders Dinner is an invite-only event series that brings together 20-30 handpicked business founders and owners.
Hosted in premium restaurants with exceptional food, these dinners are a space to step out of your day-to-day and into strategic conversations with others who’ve built and scaled (and have the scars and stories to prove it).
Each evening includes:
• Pre-dinner conversation with a vetted mix of founders and business owners
• A guided share session where everyone gives a 2-minute introduction: who you are, what you’ve built, and what you’re building next
• A seating plan that puts you next to people you don’t know, so you meet a range of founders across industries and stages
Only two rules: No sales. No politics. Just founders connecting with people who get it.
Why Attend a Founders Dinner?
This isn’t another business card exchanged. It’s the kind of table where you’ll leave with
• Real connections who understand the founder journey
• People who push you and challenge your thinking
• Potential collaborators and strategic allies
• Access to rooms you wouldn’t normally be in
Whether you’re launching your first venture or you’ve exited multiple companies, this is where aligned connections happen.
Who Can Attend
To attend, you must be:
• A current or past founder, owner, or entrepreneur
• Someone who’s built or scaled a business (at any stage)
• Open to authentic conversation and community
We intentionally curate each dinner with a mix of founders:
• 50% late-stage or exited
• 25% growth stage
• 25% early-stage
No matter where you are in your journey, there’s someone at the table who’s been exactly where you are, and others who can show you what’s possible next.
Spots are limited and by invitation only.
