What this actually is

Not another networking thing.

Built for builders, not takers. Deep connection is the whole point.

  • Founders, not networkers.People building something, not collecting a room.
  • Storytellers, not handshake hunters.Lead with what you lived.
  • Givers, not takers.Contribute before you ask.
  • Friends, not lead lists.The relationship lasts beyond the recap.

Who you get to meet

  • Founders
  • Venture capital
  • Creators
  • CEOs
  • Executives
  • Builders

One theme a night

Every room carries a theme.

01

Failure

The stories that almost ended the company, told by the person who lived them.

02

Hustle

What the grind actually looked like before anyone was watching.

03

Grit

Why they kept going when quitting was the reasonable move.

The shape of the night

  1. Doors open

    Settle in, eat well, and meet the room. The conversations start before the mic does.

  2. Tom Talks, the open mic

    Founders take the mic and share a five minute story on the theme. Experience shared live, one room at a time.

Some of our talks

Five stories. Told live.

Five minutes each, straight from the open mic. Press play, sound on.
