VIP Table Talk: NYC

​A relaxed evening for founders to connect over cocktails, dinner, and real conversation about what scaling actually feels like.

​​Join a small group of Series A founders and a few investors for an intimate night at Le Bernardin. Come meet other builders 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 and candid conversations with people who are navigating the same things you are: managing burn, prepping investor updates, kick-starting 2026, and figuring out how to stay ready while you scale.

​Hosted by Pilot and BILL at Le Bernardin, a three-Michelin-star restaurant, this is an evening designed for meaningful connection over world-class cuisine.
