An Exclusive Founder Dinner with Jack Conte and Adam Katz
Join a curated gathering of founders for an evening with Jack Conte, Founder & CEO of Patreon, and Adam Katz, Partner & Head of Entrepreneurs and Founders at Corient and author of Making the Zeros Count, featuring a fireside chat and insights from leaders who have built, scaled, and navigated the founder journey firsthand.
The discussion will explore the founder and company journey—from building and scaling a business to navigating major inflection points, transitions, and what comes next.
After the fireside chat, guests will continue the conversation over a buffet dinner prepared by a private chef, alongside fellow founders and entrepreneurs.
This complimentary, invite-only dinner has limited seating. We review guest RSVPs to ensure a strong fit with the evening’s founder community and conversation.
