Founder Feast and Entrepreneur Dinner Club are both membership dinner clubs: you pay a monthly fee, a small group sits down at a restaurant, and you pay for your own food. They differ on who gets in, how the table is built, when you learn who is coming, and where they run.
We run Founder Feast, so read this knowing where we sit. Founder Feast and Entrepreneur Dinner Club are separate companies with no connection to each other. Every fact about Entrepreneur Dinner Club below comes from its own public pages, linked, and was checked on 29 September 2026. Their details may have changed since, so check their site before you decide. We quote no reviews and nothing from forums.

Where Entrepreneur Dinner Club may suit you better
You travel, or you live outside our three cities. This is the big one. Entrepreneur Dinner Club says it is in more than 48 cities. We are in three. If you split your time between several cities, or you live somewhere we do not run, it gives you far more places to sit down.
You want to start this week. Joining starts with a sign-up survey, and its public pages describe no application for someone to review before you pay, so there is no wait for a decision. If you know you want in, that is faster than our process.
You would rather not install an app. Its welcome page says you get a text about the next dinner every other Thursday and reply YES or NO to it (page), and billing sits in your Whop account. If one more app on your phone is the thing that stops you going, that matters.
You want a wider mix at the table. It welcomes anyone with a business or creative pursuits, including people with a job or still studying. If you are building something on the side and want company doing it, that is an open door.
You prefer Tuesdays. It is a small thing, but a night that fits your week is the night you actually show up to.
Where Founder Feast may suit you better
You want a person to read your application. Every Founder Feast application is read by someone on the team before anyone is accepted. That is the filter the rest of the product depends on.
You want the table matched on what you are building. We seat people by stage, industry and what they are trying to figure out this year, by hand. A pre-seed founder and someone who just sold a company have different problems, and we try not to put them at the same table by accident.
You want a fixed five. Every table is set for five, which is small enough for one conversation. We wrote about why five is the number.
You want to know who is coming. You see the restaurant and your tablemates 24 hours before the dinner, in the app, so you can look people up and arrive knowing what to ask.
You are in Vancouver and want to pay in Canadian dollars. Vancouver membership is $39.99 CAD a month.
You would like to pay less by paying ahead. The 3 month plan is $89.99 and the 6 month plan is $119.99, which works out to about $30 and $20 a month.
You want the conversation to carry on. Your table keeps its own chat after the night, and every other vetted member is in the directory and one message away, in all three cities.
What each costs, per month and per dinner
Both clubs hold two dinner nights a month, roughly, so the per-dinner maths is simple. These use the prices each club published on 29 September 2026, before food, which you pay at the restaurant either way.
Entrepreneur Dinner Club lists $49 a month as its standard price (entrepreneurdinner.club). At two dinners a month, that is about $24.50 a dinner. In Miami its site gives a range of $49 to $79 a month (entrepreneurdinner.club). We did not find a prepaid plan on its public pages.
Founder Feast is $39.99 a month, CAD in Vancouver and USD in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Dinners are every other Thursday, so that is about $20 a dinner night if you go to each one. On the 6 month plan ($119.99), it is about $10.
The price only matters if you go. A membership you use twice a month is cheap at either price. One you use once a quarter is expensive at both.
Can you do both?
Yes. The nights do not clash, Tuesday for one and Thursday for the other, and neither club's public terms asks you to be a member of only one. If you are in Vancouver, San Francisco or Los Angeles and want more tables in your month, there is no reason not to.
How Founder Feast works
You apply, which takes about two minutes, and a person reads every answer. Once you are accepted and a member, you pick a Thursday in the app and take a seat. Twenty-four hours before the dinner you see the restaurant and who is coming. You eat, talk and pay the restaurant for what you order. There is no pitching. Afterwards your table keeps talking in its own chat.
The dinner is the main event. Coffees, runs and hikes hosted by members are there as well, as extras around it.

Common questions

Can I join both? Yes. Entrepreneur Dinner Club holds its dinners every other Tuesday and Founder Feast every other Thursday, so the nights do not clash. Each is billed separately.
Which cities overlap? Founder Feast runs in Vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Entrepreneur Dinner Club's sign-up form lists Vancouver, SF and the Bay Area, and LA, along with San Jose and Orange County. Its form also has a waitlist, so check with them that your city is seating tables.
