First Builders Dinner Series: A Gathering for Technical Founders

​First Builders Dinner Series: A Gathering for Technical Founders Volume III · San Francisco

​An intimate, highly curated dinner for technical co-founders at the pre-seed and seed stage.

​At The Council, we back founders we call First Builders - people who have lived inside the problem deeply and have been at high-slope environments. We've gathered First Builders from Qualcomm, Intel, Netscape, Cruise, Daybreak Health, Komodo Health, Twitter, WhatsApp, & Lyft for our recent events.

​This evening brings together a select group of those founders alongside Council portfolio companies and featured podcast guests. The format is intentionally simple: great people, real conversation, and the kind of candid insight that only happens when the room is right.

​Expect depth over breadth.

​Hosted by The Council Capital and Rho
