​Born Global Eat Global - Nicaraguan Night

​An intentionally curated dinner bringing together globally minded founders, funders, friends and families shaping the future across borders and industries.

​Not every deal starts in a boardroom.
Some begin over gallo pinto, queso frito and a conversation that lingers longer than expected.

This isn’t just a dinner, it’s an introduction to the cuisine and culture along with some educational entertainment. And we will be doing this for different countries each month.

​Come hungry—for flavor, for stories, for the future being built right here in Houston, the Global City of the Future.

The No. 1 diverse city in the U.S.;
The No. 1 city for foreign businesses in the U.S.;
Where over 90 consulates represent the world;
Where 145+ languages are spoken across neighborhoods.

​This evening, we gather around the table—not just to eat, but to connect across cultures, ideas, and lived experiences.

​Who should attend

• ​Founders building across borders (or thinking about it)

• ​Investors, operators, and creators who think globally

• ​Friends, family, and and next-generation leaders growing into that mindset

​If you’ve ever felt that “global” isn’t a strategy but a way of seeing the world—you’ll fit right in.

​Why attend

​Because the future isn’t built in isolation. It’s built in rooms like this.

​Because real opportunities don’t start with cold outreach. They
start with shared experiences and trusted relationships.

​Because Houston is quietly becoming becoming one of the most important global crossroads.

​And you’re either in the room…or hearing about it later.

​What you’ll get

• ​Real conversations (not panels, not pitches, but actual human exchange)

• ​Connections that can turn into partnerships, deals, or lifelong friendships

• ​Exposure to different cultures, markets, and ways of thinking

​And yes—exceptional Nicaraguan food that deserves your full attention.

​The experience

​Hosted at a local restaurant and prepared by a Nicaraguan chef, this dinner brings the authentic flavors, traditions, and warm hospitality of Nicaragua to one shared table.

​Think gallo pinto, nacatamales, vigorón, carne asada, tajadas, queso frito, quesillo, and tres leches—each dish telling a story shaped by Indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Caribbean influences.

​As we share a meal, you'll discover the history, music, traditions, and vibrant culture that make Nicaragua so unique. Learn about family customs, regional specialties, and the spirit of a country where food is more than a meal—it's a way of bringing people together.

​This isn’t a “networking event.”

​It’s a table.

​A table where strangers become friends, cultures become stories, and conversations linger long after dinner should have ended.

​In Nicaragua, family and community are at the heart of everyday life. For one evening, we invite you to experience that warmth, share authentic cuisine, and feel the welcoming spirit that makes everyone feel at home.
