Legacy Lounge: The First Mile | Stanford Hike & Brunch
Stanford Hike & Curated Brunch
Exceptional people. Time to know them.
Ahead of SF Tech Week, join Legacy Lounge for a Stanford hike and brunch with featured speaker Matthew. A small gathering for Stanford founders, deep-tech investors, exited entrepreneurs, CXOs, and technologists exploring what comes next.
Featured speaker: Matthew
Aerospace & Defense CEO · Early Investor
Matthew is the Florida-based CEO of an aerospace and defense company. His background includes projects for Lockheed, Boeing, SpaceX, and Anduril, alongside early investments in SpaceX, Anduril, and Shield AI.
Join him for an off-the-record conversation on frontier technology, building in demanding markets, and the decisions that matter when ambitious ideas become companies.
Our community has welcomed Angela Ying of NVIDIA, Forty Seven co-founder Mark Chao, and Omri Amirav-Drory of NFX Bio. Each gathering brings its own thoughtfully selected mix of people.
Small by design
A firm limit of 28 guests: 25 founder, executive, and technologist places, plus three seats reserved for GPs and investors. We keep the group small so guests and speakers feel comfortable sharing, and conversations have room to develop.

8:30 AM — Stanford hike
9:30 AM — Brunch & coffee
