A room worth being in
Invite-only dinners and side events where the other seats are founders, CTOs and investors worth your evening — every time.
Who's in the room
Not a crowd. A guest list.
100+ members and counting — a high-signal mix of the people who actually move. 90% are Seed-and-beyond tech startups or funds with $10M+ AUM. Every seat is curated, and that's the whole point.

The mix
Founders lead it — investors and builders round it out.
We keep the balance deliberate. Enough founders that the conversation is real, enough investors and operators that it's useful, and no filler.

What a seat actually gets you.
Warm intros, not cold ones
The whole point is repeat exposure. We run the right people into each other until an intro is just a text, not a favour.
First access to the flagship
Members get first dibs on the Web Summit house party and every seasonal side event before they sell out.
A network that travels
Barcelona and Lisbon are home, but members already show up across the US, the UAE, Cyprus and Poland — wherever the industry does.
Where we are
Rooted in Barcelona & Lisbon. Members further out.
Home — Spain & PortugalMembers in the US, the UAE, Cyprus, Poland
Where we gather
Two home cities. One travelling network.
Barcelona
Where the first table was set. Home base, weekly dinners and monthly founder evenings.
Lisbon
Second home and the stage for the flagship Web Summit house party.
& beyond
Pop-up rooms wherever our members already are — the US, the UAE, Cyprus, Poland. A third home city joins in 2026.
What we believe
Four principles behind every dinner.
Founders helping founders
Not a networking event. People who've been in the trenches helping each other — over dinner, not from a stage.
Curated, not crowded
Every seat is reviewed. We optimise for who's at the table, never for how many — a small table of the right people beats a hall of the wrong ones.
Give before you ask
Answer the question, make the intro, share what you learned the hard way. That's the whole deal.
Growing slowly, on purpose
Two years, one dinner at a time. We'd rather add a city than dilute an evening.

Lisbon chapterWho it's for
This only works if the guest list is right.
A good fit if…
- You're a founder, CTO or investor in tech — Seed-stage and beyond, or a fund with $10M+ AUM.
- You show up to give as much as you take — an intro, a hard-won lesson, an honest answer.
- You'd rather have ten real conversations than a hundred business cards.
- You're building seriously, and you want people around you who get it.
Probably not if…
- You're here mainly to sell or to pitch investors cold.
- You collect memberships and logos but never show up.
- You want a lead list, not a community.
- You're looking for a programme, a course, or a desk to rent — that's not us.
