Tech Leaders Fine Dining Series — Foreign Cinema (SF) Edition
A venue upgrade. The caliber of this table outgrew the original room — given the quality of confirmed guests and the number of technology executives asking for seats, we’ve moved the evening to the Director’s Table at Foreign Cinema: a dozen seats on the balcony beside the vintage 35mm projector, overlooking the night’s film in the fairy-lit courtyard.
Thursday, August 13 · 6:30 PM · Foreign Cinema, 2534 Mission St, San Francisco
The format doesn’t change. No pitches, no panels, no slides — the agenda is built from the questions guests submit, the conversation stays off the record, and dinner is on us.
The table so far: a founder-CTO seven months past a $150M Series B, a founder-CTO fresh off a $40M Series B, one of the most cited scientists in speech AI, and VPs of Engineering and Data across a16z- and Bain-backed AI startups, a public AI cloud, and a $100M+ ARR data platform.
Ten minutes from Pier 48 — if your day ends at MongoDB’s Build Fest, we’re the nightcap.
Limited approval-only seats remain. If August 13 doesn’t work, more dinners are behind it.
Hosted with partners like Founders Bay, You.com, and Alumni Ventures — same idea every time: a small room, real talk, no agenda.
