Where founders feast
& futures form
Weekly curated dinners. 5 hand-matched founders. No pitching.
The Main Event
One night. One room you won't forget.
Our flagship night of the month: part dinner party, part mixer, with special guest speakers joining us. A full room of hand-picked founders, operators, and investors, beyond the weekly tables of five. If you come out for one night this summer, make it this one.
Limited seats · Weekly dinners run every Thursday as usual

Founder Feast is for entrepreneurs, startup founders, CEOs, co-founders, and business builders in Vancouver. Whether you're at the idea stage or scaling a growing company, if you're in the arena building something, this is for you.
Every application is reviewed by our team. We look at your background, what you're building, your energy and intent. We're not looking for the biggest companies. We're looking for people who are genuinely engaged in entrepreneurship and would add value to the table.
A single event is $200. Membership is $2,000/year — monthly curated dinners, investor access, and a private city cohort — and the first 25 founding members lock in $1,500/year for life. Either way, curation, matching, restaurant selection, and logistics are covered; you pay for your own food and drinks at the restaurant separately.
At handpicked restaurants across Vancouver: Downtown/Gastown, Kitsilano, North Vancouver, and Mount Pleasant. You select your preferred area when you apply.
After your application is approved, we typically match you within a month. We curate every table by hand, so we wait until we have the right group for you — not just a group. You'll receive your details the morning of your dinner via WhatsApp.
Not to the same dinner, that's by design. The magic is meeting people outside your existing circle. But we'd love for your friend to apply separately. Refer them and you'll both get priority.
