Pinnacle Founder Dinner
We started the Pinnacle Dinner Series to bring together London's top founders and operators. Each month, we invite 12 top individuals for a multi-course dinner experience.
Our goal isn't a performative dinner where people talk about how great they are, it's building genuine connections that actually last. To get there, we keep the guest list small and carefully curated, and we try to create a truly exclusive experience by hosting on the top floor of one of the UK's tallest buildings with a top private chef, closing the night watching the sunset over London with great music.
The dinners are run by people who've spent time both building startups and working in entertainment, bringing a different energy to the usual founder dinner.
What to expect:
A 3-course meal, thanks to our sponsors
Conversations with fellow high-performing founders
A format designed to spark new connections, not just small talk
Meaningful relationships with ambitious peers solving similar problems
What we ask of you:
Commit to the full experience
Come open to meet new people and build connections
Leave the pitch at the door, just come as yourself
