Founders Dinner with Blok
Join a small, invite-only group of founders for an intimate dinner in London - a quiet, off-the-record evening for people building the next generation of enduring companies, and thinking long-term about how to win in a foundation-model world.
No panels. No pitches. No slides. Just a handful of good people around a table, great food, and honest conversation.
We’ll kick things off with brief introductions, then let the discussion unfold naturally - touching on topics like:
Building SLMs and focused systems alongside (and sometimes against) the big foundation models
Where small, opinionated teams can still out-execute giants
What fundraising in the Bay Area actually looks like right now
How to think clearly about company-building once the hype fades and the real work begins
It’s less about networking and more about sharing experiences on how we win together.
About Us
Blok is a San Francisco-based company building behavioral simulations that help teams understand and design for real human behavior.
Our team spans Stanford PhDs, exited unicorn founders, and senior product leaders, with backgrounds across behavioral research, foundational model development, and scaling products globally. We focus on agent-based systems and small, specialized language models, pushing hard on where intelligence can be applied with precision rather than brute force.
We've raised $7.5M from some of the world’s best funds, including a16z, Greylock, and CRV, and have helped global enterprises double conversion on new feature releases in weeks instead of months.
