Roundtables – Inner Circle
The right table can open more doors than a 1000 emails
Most networking events give you a name tag.
We give you a seat at the right table.
42 seats. 6 tables. 1 night.
Roundtables is a curated founder dinner series in Madrid designed for serious builders who value proximity over volume.
No open-room chaos.
No random encounters.
No pitching to strangers.
Why This Is Different
✅ Industry-focused tables
Led by experienced operators, investors, and executives. You don’t “network” — you sit with people building in your space.
✅ Curated peers only
Participants are matched by industry and ambition. Relevance over volume.
✅ Real access, real conversations
7 people per table. No panels. No spectators. Just direct dialogue and honest exchange.
✅ Private dinners in unique locations
Each table meets in a handpicked restaurant. Intimate setting. High signal.
The Tables
Seats are allocated first-come, first-served based on your preference. Each table is led by an experienced operator deeply embedded in that space.
