Founder Dinners
Small, curated dinners bringing together entrepreneurs, operators and people building ambitious companies.
Community / Events
The most interesting things often begin when the right people end up in the same room.
I’m building a series of curated gatherings that bring together founders, executives, technologists, researchers, investors, creators and people working on ambitious ideas.
Some will be intimate. Some will be larger. All should leave you thinking differently than when you arrived.
The first gatherings are currently being developed. Join the list to hear about them first.
The premise
Good events are not defined by how many people attend.
They are defined by who is there, what gets discussed and what happens afterward.
The goal is to create environments where people can talk openly, challenge ideas, meet people outside their usual circles and occasionally start something that would not have happened otherwise.
Possible formats
Events will take different forms depending on the people, topic and reason for bringing everyone together.
Small, curated dinners bringing together entrepreneurs, operators and people building ambitious companies.
Private conversations for leaders navigating technology, AI, innovation and rapidly changing industries.
Thoughtful conversations with founders, researchers, investors, executives and unconventional thinkers.
Intimate gatherings exploring emerging technologies and the questions they create for business and society.
Focused conversations connecting people building companies with people who understand how to help them grow.
Occasional experiences built around an idea, an opportunity, a city or a group of people who should meet.
The intention
No giant rooms filled with name tags.
No forced introductions.
No endless panels saying things everyone already knows.
The intention is simpler: bring interesting people together, create the right environment and let meaningful conversations happen.
People are invited because they add something to the room.
The best ideas rarely come from someone speaking at an audience for an hour.
Founders should meet researchers. Investors should meet technologists. Executives should meet people thinking differently.
A great conversation should occasionally lead somewhere.
The questions around us
The subjects will change. Curiosity will be the constant.
An open horizon
The community may begin close to home, but the ambition is broader.
Over time, gatherings can happen wherever interesting people, ideas and opportunities intersect, across companies, universities, innovation ecosystems and cities around the world.
Create a room together
Some of the best gatherings are built together.
If you represent a company, university, investment group, innovation organization, community or venue and there is a conversation worth creating, I’d like to hear about it.
Contribute
Great communities are shaped by the people willing to share what they have learned.
If you are a founder, executive, researcher, investor, technologist or practitioner with an interesting perspective, I’m always interested in meeting people who could contribute to a future conversation.
