Fall Feast is one night, one room, in Vancouver. Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 6 to 11 PM, at Another Studios in Mount Pleasant. A hundred hand-picked guests, three short talks, drinks and food on the ticket, and a DJ. Tickets are on the event page. This post is for the person deciding whether to go.
What Fall Feast is
Most of what Founder Feast does is small. Five vetted founders at a restaurant table on a Thursday evening, nobody pitching, the restaurant and the guest list revealed 24 hours before. That format is the main event, and it stays small on purpose.
Fall Feast is the other thing we do: the whole community in one room instead of around separate tables. It is a standing event, not a dinner, so you can meet as many people as you like instead of the few beside you. Food goes round all night, the drinks are on your ticket, and a few founders take the stage for a few minutes each. The last one was our summer evening on July 30, 2026, and the photographs from that night are the best preview of this one.
Dress code is cocktail attire. A jacket or a dress, no tie needed.
Who is in the room
The event page puts it in one line: a hundred hand-picked guests from Vancouver and the Valley. Entrepreneurs, athletes, creators and investors. The people building things in this city.
Every guest is vetted the same way our dinner tables are. Guests come through two doors: Founder Feast members, and our guest partner, Wildcard Experience. In most rooms you spend the first hour filtering. In this one you do not have to.
The three talks
Three speakers, one short talk each. Something to talk about, and a reason to go and find them afterwards.
Vansh Sobti, founder of Cloud Nine Clothing. He built the brand to $10M in revenue by 22 and has sold 100,000+ hoodies, after 100+ manufacturers said no first. Read his story.
Annika Ng, co-founder of Blossom Social. The Vancouver social investing app has 850,000+ users, raised $2M in two hours, and was named one of Apple's top 25 apps of 2025. Read her story.
Connor Emeny, the first person to finish an Iron-distance triathlon on all seven continents. His Antarctica finish was 32:42:34, and he is on the BCBusiness 30 Under 30 list for 2026. Read his story.
If one of those three is the reason you are coming, get your ticket and go find them upstairs after the talks.
The venue: Another Studios
Another Studios is a two-floor photo studio at 107 E 3rd Ave, Unit 101, on the corner of 3rd and Quebec in Mount Pleasant. The main floor is 2,800 square feet with a 24-foot ceiling and two storeys of windows. A steel staircase takes you up to the lounge.
The studio sits just south of False Creek and east of the Cambie Bridge, in the neighbourhood where Vancouver's startup scene actually eats.
How the night goes
The event page lays the evening out in four parts.
- Doors open at 6. Grab a drink and get your bearings. The first conversations start at the door.
- The floor, all evening. No seating plan and no icebreakers. Move between conversations all night, so you meet the ten people who matter, not just the two beside you.
- The talks, on stage. A few founders take a few minutes each to share what they are building and why now.
- Upstairs, until 11. The lounge is quieter, for the conversations that turn into something more: an idea, a collaboration, a friend.
What a ticket covers and what it costs
A ticket includes drinks, food, the talks and the DJ.
Tickets are CA$130 at the time of writing. The regular price is CA$200. Founder Feast members with an active membership pay CA$99, and checkout applies the member rate automatically when you book with the email on your membership.
You can bring people. Choose up to six tickets in one payment, and each friend gets a link to claim their own ticket, in their name, with its own QR code.
Every request is reviewed to keep the room right, usually within a few hours. Your card is only charged once your spot is confirmed, and you get an email either way, then a reminder a few days before. Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be transferred, because every guest answers the same questions.
Part of every ticket goes back to Vancouver. In July, Potluck Café Society, a Vancouver social enterprise that hires from the Downtown Eastside, catered the summer event, and around half of every ticket went to them. This fall the charity will be named before the night.
If you cannot make November 5
The dinners are the main thing we do. Five vetted founders, sometimes an investor or an operator, at one of Vancouver's good restaurants on a Thursday evening at 7pm. The restaurant and who is coming are revealed 24 hours before, you pay the restaurant for your own food, and there are no panels, no name badges and no pitching.
Membership is $39.99 CAD a month, and you cancel anytime. You apply once, a person reads it, usually within a day, and members book a Thursday in the app. More on the Vancouver dinners here.
