The Operator's Table - Chapter 2
The Operator's Table — Chapter 2
A Merraine Group Dinner Series
Chapter 1 filled up before we could invite everyone we wanted.
So Merraine Group is doing it again.
Wednesday, May 6th. 6:00 PM. Chicago.
A second intimate dinner for a hand-selected group of the city's top founders, operators, and investors.
Why Merraine hosts this
Merraine Group was built on a simple belief: people aren't part of the business. They are the business.
When serial entrepreneurs Kass and Mike Lazerow — founders of Buddy Media, sold to Salesforce for $745M — acquired Merraine, they brought one mandate with them:
Recruiting should be led by operators who've built real teams, not recruiters who've just placed them.
That means speed without compromise. Insight over instinct. Partnerships built on trust.
The Operator's Table is an extension of that philosophy — a space where the people building Chicago's next chapter can sit down, think out loud, and find their people.
The Evening
No panels. No pitches. No performative networking.
Just a small, curated group of leaders who value real conversation over business cards.
Date: Wednesday, May 6th
Time: 6:00 PM
Vibe: Intimate, curated, pitch-free
Capacity: Strictly limited
