iPhone, Android and the web

The Founder Feast app

Book your Thursday, see who is coming before you sit down, and reach every vetted member. Built around one table a week, not around screen time.

Chapter I, The screens

Three screens you will actually open

The Dinners tab of the Founder Feast app showing upcoming seats in Vancouver

Your Thursdays, in one place

Every dinner you have a seat at, the ones filling up next, and the city you are in. One tap to reserve the next Thursday.

The table, confirmed before you go

The restaurant, the time and who is coming, confirmed 48 hours before the dinner. Nobody walks in blind.

Chapter II, What it does

Everything on the screen serves the table

If a feature would make the app stickier and the dinners no better, it does not ship.

  1. Reserve a Thursday

    Pick a dinner in your city and hold your seat. Joining closes 48 hours before, when the table is confirmed.

  2. Know the room

    See who is at your table before you sit down, with what each person is building.

  3. Coffees, runs and hikes

    Members propose them between Thursdays. Join one in a tap, or start your own.

  4. The member directory

    Every vetted member across Vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles, searchable, with a message button.

  5. The map

    Where this week's tables are, city by city, and which ones still have a seat.

  6. Membership in the app

    Join, manage or pause your membership from your phone. The web app at founderfeast.com is the same account.

Chapter III, Membership

One membership, three cities, every Thursday

The app is free to download and free to apply from. Sitting at a table is membership, $49 a month, and it works the same whether you joined on your phone or on the site.

A person reads every application. Founders, investors, doctors, professors, athletes and artists. Every seat at this table is vetted.

Membership, $49 a month
  • You get a seat at every weekly dinner, and you never pay a per-seat charge.
  • We pick your table by hand, so you know the room before you walk in.
  • You get coffees, runs and hikes with other members through the week.
  • You can reach every other vetted member in the app, in all three cities.
  • Members get the seasonal events and special offers first.

Chapter IV, Questions

What people ask about the app

Anything else, write to hello@founderfeast.com and a person answers.

Is the Founder Feast app free?

Downloading the app and applying are free. Sitting at a table needs membership, $49 a month, which covers every weekly dinner plus coffees, runs and hikes. You pay for your own food and drinks at the restaurant.

Is it on Android?

Yes. The app is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, and everything also works in the browser at founderfeast.com with the same account.

Do I need the app to be a member?

No. The web app does everything the phone app does. The app is faster for the Thursday reminder, the table confirmation and messages.

Can I apply from the app?

Yes. The application in the app is the same one as on the site. A person reads it, and you hear back by email.

Which cities does the app cover?

Vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Membership is per person, not per city, so a member sees the tables in all three.
