The Scale-Up Founders Dinner - #SF TechWeek

Some conversations don't happen at mixers. This one is for founders who've crossed the hardest line in startups — real revenue — and are building toward what comes next. Who's at the table: founders at $500K+ ARR who are raising now or within the next 12 months. That's the bar, and it's firm.

The format: one table on the rooftop, one evening, no pitches and no panel. A working dinner among peers, with the candor that only happens when everyone in the room has the same problems and nobody's performing.
