Al Dente: A Founder-Investor pasta-making dinner
Investors: Come make pasta from the creators of Flour+Water, and bring your favorite female founder with you.
Circe is hosting an intimate evening at Penny Roma, a michelin star jewel in the mission. A private pasta class, dinner, good wine, and a room full of investors and the female founders they believe in most.
The format is simple: every investor brings one founder they're genuinely excited about. That's it. The rets of the night is all fun, flour and good convos in one of the Mission's best dining rooms.
Space is curated and intentionally small. If you're an investor with a female founder you're excited about, or that you've invested in and you'd love to spotlight them, this one's for you.
The Evening
6:00 PM | Arrive and get your hands floury — private pasta class begins
