We forget about 90% of people after a goodnight sleep. However when we establish an emotional resonance with someone, they will remember us the next day. Program: The evening's format is designed for networking in a relaxed setting, providing an opportunity to meet fellow business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors. We emphasize building genuine relationships on a personal level. I will be there to help with introductions and get over the barrier of anxiety when approaching someone you don't know. How many people are attending? The venue has a capacity limit of 80 guests, and due to the popularity of our events and the unique ambiance of the location, we anticipate this event will reach full capacity quickly. We strongly advise securing your reservation early to ensure attendance. If you haven't gotten a ticket, you can pay when you arrive but it will be 50% more expensive than buying it in advance. Our events achieve success through a straightforward yet impactful strategy.

London has 9 million people in it. And somehow, founders still feel like they're building alone. The Founders Table is a small dinner for early-stage builders. 15 seats. No pitch practice, no investor small talk — just real conversation about what it actually takes to build. You won't know anyone when you arrive. But I'm pretty sure when you leave, you will. I've worn two hats — growth equity investor and operator. In both roles, I kept seeing the same thing: founders who are still ideating, still pre-raise, are isolated. They want to talk GTM, hiring, sales, how to actually move the needle. So I'm building the table that didn't exist. You should come if you are: • Building something — a startup, a side project, an idea you can't stop thinking about • Pre-raise or early stage and figuring it out as you go • Craving honest conversation with people who get it • Done with surface-level networking Please don't come if you: • Are only here to pitch or collect contacts • Need the conversation to stay safe and polished • Are not genuinely curious about the people sitting next to you The details: 📍 Central London (exact location to be shared closer to the date) 🗓️ Date — 29th May, 2026 🪑 15 seats only 🎟️ £20 to reserve your seat 🍽️ You pay for your own food/drinks. Link below. See you at the table.
