BUSINESS & BREAKFAST — ROUND 2
BUSINESS & BREAKFAST — ROUND 2
The Circle · 10×5
Business & Breakfast is back for its second round.
Dubai has enough networking events where you walk into a room, talk to the people you already know, exchange a few LinkedIn requests, and leave wondering what actually happened.
We built Business & Breakfast differently — and after our first session, we’re bringing the 10×5 format back for another morning of intentional connections.
Mandatory: An entry fee applies for the Business & Breakfast Buffet and is payable at the venue.
Twice a month. 40 carefully curated people. 90 minutes. 10 conversations. 5 minutes each.
A simple format designed to create the kind of connections that compound over time.
THE FORMAT
9:30 – 10:00 AM | COFFEE · BREAKFAST · ARRIVAL
Start the morning with great coffee, breakfast bites, and relaxed conversations.
No stage. No presentations. No pitching.
10:00 – 11:00 AM | THE 10×5
You’ll be randomly matched with 10 different participants.
You get 5 minutes with each person to:
→ Introduce yourself
→ Share what you're building
→ Say what you're looking for
→ Exchange contacts
→ Find a reason to continue the conversation
Then the bell rings.
Next conversation.
10 times.
WHO YOU MIGHT MEET
Founders · Investors · Family Offices · Operators · Executives · Strategic Partners
Your next investor.
Your next client.
Your next business partner.
A founder you can build with.
Or simply someone you would never have met otherwise.
WHY IT WORKS
One session gives you 10 new conversations.
Two sessions a month gives you up to 240 conversations a year.
Not every conversation will matter.
But one might.
And that's the point.
Business relationships compound.
THE RULE
Come curious. Don't come to sell.
Don't come expecting a pitch. Come to discover who is in the room.
The Circle creates the room.
The 10×5 creates the introductions.
You decide what happens next.
