VIP Table Talk
A relaxed evening for founders to connect over cocktails, dinner, and real conversation about what scaling actually feels like.
Join a small group of Seed–Series A founders and a VC guest for an intimate night at The Loupe Lounge. Come meet other builders and VCs to talk about what the 2026 landscape has in store, what’s top of mind for founders right now, and how everyone’s thinking about the year ahead.
There’s no panel or formal program. Just good food, good views, and candid conversations with people who are navigating the same things you are: managing burn, prepping investor updates, planning for 2026, and figuring out how to stay ready while you scale.
Hosted 500 feet above Seattle at the Space Needle Lounge, it’s a chance to step out of the noise, get perspective, and connect with people who get it.
