FAQs
Everything you need to know before we gather.
Do I need to know anyone attending?
Not at all. Many guests attend independently. Founders Soirée is intentionally designed to facilitate introductions and create a welcoming experience for both new and returning attendees. Your table assignments and curated conversations ensure you'll never feel like you're navigating the room alone.

Will there be opportunities to attend future gatherings?
Absolutely. Founders Soirée is designed to introduce guests to the communities and experiences behind the event.
The Pinnacle Dinner™ hosts intentionally curated seated dinners throughout the year, typically held quarterly, while Speakeasy is a relationship-driven mastermind community that gathers monthly around meaningful conversations and curated topics.
