Founder dinners in Los Angeles
Entertainment, consumer, health, and everything built in the gaps between them. Every Thursday, 5 of those builders sit down at one of LA's best restaurants. No pitching. No pretense. Just real conversation over great food.
Reserve Your SeatA city that spreads its talent out
LA does not have one scene. It has a dozen, an hour apart, each one certain the others do not exist. A studio founder in Culver City and a device founder in Playa Vista can build for years without ever ending up in the same room. Our job is to put them at the same table, on a night that works, with a restaurant already booked.
We read "founder" broadly here on purpose. Artists, designers, scientists, doctors: builders at heart. In this city that mix is not a stretch, it is the point.
Dinners across the city
Choose your preferred area when you apply. We curate the restaurant, the table, and the company.
Santa Monica & Venice
Consumer brands, studios, and the founders who built a company between the beach and Abbot Kinney. Easy rooms, serious operators.
West Hollywood & Beverly Hills
Where entertainment money meets early-stage. Producers, agents, and founders raising from people who did not come out of tech.
Downtown & the Arts District
Warehouses turned studios, kitchens, and workshops. The part of the city where people still make physical things.
Culver City & Playa Vista
Streaming, gaming, and health teams within a few minutes of each other. Dense in a way LA is not supposed to be.
Our definition of founder is wide
Entertainment builders
Studios, labels, production companies, and the people building the tools they all run on.
Consumer & brand founders
Apparel, food, beauty, fitness. Businesses judged by whether people actually buy them.
Health & longevity
Doctors, clinics, device teams, and researchers turning practice into product.
Artists, designers, scientists
Builders at heart, whatever the job title says. The best tables mix all of them.
