​🍰 Tiramisu Club SF

​Good dessert makes for good conversation.

​We're hosting a small evening in San Francisco for founders, engineers, operators, investors, and anyone else building something interesting.

​We’re hoping you meet someone you might not have otherwise.

​How it works

​Before the event, every guest fills out a short application telling us about what they're working on and what kinds of conversations they're looking for.

​We'll use that information to recommend a starting conversation table. Throughout the night, you're free to explore other tables, meet new people, and let curiosity lead the way.

​Conversation Tables

• ​Founders Lounge: for founders who have already raised capital or preparing to raise.

• ​Looking for a Cofounder: for people actively searching for a C anything O.

• ​Demo & Feedback: show what you're building and get inspired (no formal pitches)!

• ​Building with AI: for engineers, researchers, and anyone building personal projects.

• ​Career Corner: for interns, students, and new grads.

• ​Product & Design: for designers, PMs, and product thinkers.

• ​Growth & GTM: for content creators, community builders, and people interested in growth.

• ​New to SF: Making friends in a new city can be difficult. Meet someone new!

• ​Sponsor Tables: an opportunity to speak directly with our sponsors.

• ​O-1 Visa Assessments: courtesy immigration screenings by the lawyer-founder & our site host, Global Citizens.

• ​Tiramisu & Refreshments: for conversations with no agenda at all.

​And The Important Part

​Tiramisu and dessert from Stella Pastry and Cafe, one of San Francisco's most famous tiramisu spots.

​We will also have charcuterie. Obviously.

​Whether you leave with a future collaborator, cofounder, creative partner, mentor, or simply a new friend, our hope is that you'll walk away remembering the conversations, not just the LinkedIn connections.

​Come hungry. Leave inspired. (And probably with a new favorite tiramisu spot.)

​Bring Your Own

​Want to contest the tiramisu crown? We welcome guests to bring their own desserts to share! Please make sure to label it with potential allergens such as gluten, nuts, dairy, etc.
