The desk is the easy part. The network is the membership.
What membership actually gets you: introductions to the people who've done it, investors who fund it, and founders who are in it with you. We get you connected.
Mentors & operators
People in the community who've built — and sold — food businesses. Honest answers about margins, distribution, co-packers, and the things nobody puts in a pitch deck.
Investor access
Demo days and office hours with investors who actually fund food and hospitality. Warm intros, not cold emails.
Who's in the room
One industry, every angle. Your next customer, supplier, or co-founder is at the next desk.
The makers
CPG, beverage, snacks, sauces. Things people eat and drink.
The operators
Restaurants, cafés, hospitality groups. Single door to twenty.
The builders
The software, marketplaces, and machines the industry runs on.
The connectors
Packaging, branding, supply chain, the people who make it move.
Two kinds of nights
Industry Nights
Founder dinners, tastings, demo days, investor office hours. The food and hospitality world in one room, doing what it does best.
Family Meal
In every kitchen, family meal is when the whole house eats together — front, back, everyone. Ours works the same: fundraising, hiring, growth, product. Real talk for founders of every kind. Open to all, member or not.
Members get every event included. Not a member? The Insider list gets you into Family Meal — start there.
Founding members
The first 25 people who join set the tone. We want founders and operators who bring their own network, share what they know, and actually want the room to succeed.
Curated, not crowded
Every member is building something real in food, hospitality, or the tech behind them. Quality of room matters more than headcount.
Shape the culture
Founding members decide what events we run, who we invite, and what 'helpful' actually means here.
First access
Investor office hours, demo days, and mentor dinners start with the people in the room first.
