​Born Global Eat Global - Persian Night at Avesta

​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 saffron rice, warm bread, 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 Persian food that deserves your full attention.

​The Experience

​Hosted at Avesta Persian Middle Eastern, a hidden gem known for its warm hospitality and deeply authentic Persian cuisine.

​Think saffron rice, perfectly grilled kabobs, shared plates, and conversations that stretch long after dinner should’ve ended.

​This isn’t a “networking event.”
It’s a table.
And what happens at the table tends to matter.
