Founder Dinner in Seattle.
Small, curated dinners for founders, operators, investors and builders in Seattle. Six to ten people, one table, and a restaurant worth going to. The first Seattle tables are being set now.
An evening in four parts.
Only the first one involves a form.

Before dinner
We set the table
We choose the restaurant: somewhere worth the trip, with a private table and a menu chosen for the evening. Then we seat six to ten people who should meet.
On the night
Dinner
Your host makes the introductions, then gets out of the way. The rest is conversation.
The weeks that follow
After
Everyone you sat with is on your card, with the dinner noted. Then follow-ups, the introductions that should happen, and an invitation to the next table.
Exceptional people. Exceptional places.
No stage, no panel, no one working the room. A private table in a restaurant we’d go to on our own, and an evening paced for real conversation.
- Six to ten seats
- Small enough to share one conversation, big enough for a few surprises.
- Seated on purpose
- Every guest is chosen with the rest of the table in mind.
- Rooms worth the trip
- Chosen for the food, and for being able to hear each other.
- No pitches
- Leave the deck at home. The evening is better without it.
- Come alone
- Most people do. It’s the fastest way to meet everyone.
- Not a one-off
- The point is to keep seeing good people.
Coming soon to a city near you.
The first tables are in Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma. Somewhere else? Apply anyway and tell us your city. It helps us decide where to set tables next.
Better conversations start with the right table.
Apply in a few minutes. A person reads every application, and we’ll write when there’s a seat that fits.
