Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get invited?
We're looking for people who build things that matter, move markets, or create culture. Founders who ship products, not just raise rounds. Artists who sell work, not just post it. Executives who make decisions, not just attend meetings. We review every application carefully. We've turned down Fortune 500 executives who couldn't prove they were builders, not just PowerPoint warriors. The process isn't a formality, it's how we keep conversations worth having.
Who else will be at dinner?
The kind of people you'd actually want to have dinner with. Partners from vc firms debating the future of work with Grammy-winning producers. FAANG engineering leaders explaining algorithms to PE firm presidents. Fintech founders getting schooled on brand strategy by executives who've built billion-dollar luxury empires.
You'll know who's at your table 24 hours before dinner, along with conversation starters that'll make small talk impossible.
What cities are the dinners in?
We go wherever decision-makers live, work, and think, not just where conferences happen. San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Miami, Panama City, Cartagena, Bogota, Lisbon, London, Cannes, Marrakesh, Bali, Seoul, Singapore, and UAE.
How often do these happen?
Each city typically hosts 2-3 dinners per quarter.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
We've handled everything from kosher to keto to "I'm allergic to shellfish but only when Mercury is in retrograde." Just mention it in your application. Our restaurants are world-class and can handle whatever your body needs while your mind focuses on the conversation.
Can I bring a guest?
No. This isn't a +1 situation. Every seat is curated, every person is there for a specific reason. Bringing your business partner or spouse would be like bringing a lawyer to a therapy session. Technically possible, but it ruins everything we're trying to create
What's expected of me besides showing up?
Show up curious. Leave your pitch deck at home. Come ready to have conversations with humans about substantive problems. The best dinners happen when everyone forgets they're "networking" and remembers they're just people who happen to be really damn good at what they do.
What if I’m an introvert?
Great. Half our best conversations start with the person who's been listening for 20 minutes before dropping the insight that makes everyone else realize they've been thinking about the problem completely wrong. We're not looking for the loudest voice in the room, we're looking for the smartest one.
