The Founders’ Table: A Year-End Feast
The Founders’ Table: A Year-End Feast
Close out the year at the table.
The people you build alongside shape what you build. Our spring Founders’ Table sold out, so we’re bringing it back for one more night this year: a shared feast, a room of fellow builders, and conversations that carry into the new year.
The Venue & Experience
We’re gathering at Understory, a worker-owned restaurant and community hub in Oakland’s Fruitvale District. Dinner is a kamayan feast, the Filipino tradition of eating together by hand from a shared spread laid out on banana leaves. One table, one meal, and a celebration of culture, entrepreneurship, and community.
Your Seat Includes:
A Kamayan Feast: A shared, family-style spread prepared by Understory.
A Curated Table: An evening with a strictly limited group of Bay Area founders, creators, and builders.
Professional Photos: Event photography so you can remember the night and share it.
The Conversation
The whole table shares one guided conversation, Jeffersonian style. Every guest gets the floor to share:
What you do: Your business, your craft, and what you’re building.
What you need: The intro, resource, or answer that would move you forward.
What you can offer: The expertise, connections, or support you can give back.
Who is this for?
Active Bay Area founders, business owners, creators, and builders who are growing something of their own and want a room of people who want to see them win.
