About Event

A Million Dollar Secret
An evening for AI founders who've stopped pretending it's easy.

Menlo Park. Invite or approval only.

One night. Around a hundred people. Every founder in the room has either raised an institutional round for their AI company or built one to impressive ARR. No tourists, no tire-kickers, no one working the room with a pitch deck. Just the people actually building.

The whole thing runs on a simple rule: you're in because someone in the room vouched for you. That's the secret. There isn't a growth hack or a fundraising trick behind the name. The secret is who's standing next to you at the event.

Also in the room: a hand-picked group of VCs who know how to have a conversation without turning it into a term sheet. The ones you'd actually want on your cap table. The ones that are actively investing in AI.

The evening centers on a quick panel on the state of Silicon Valley and AI leading into 2027 and the GTM landscape. What actually gets funded in AI right now. What founders keep getting wrong. What the next twelve months look like from where they're sitting.

Around that: drinks, dinner-style bites, and enough time and space to have the conversations that don't happen at bigger events. The kind where you meet your next investor, your next co-founder, your next real friend in this thing.

If you're in, you already know why.
