Why you won't know anyone

Denver is a small market, but big enough to pull together leaders that don't yet have strong ties to each other. I spend time going through the attendees' LinkedIn to try and make this a fresh set of connections for everyone. Those invited get a link to the other attendees a week or so before so you can size up what the conversation will be like.

Who's invited

We're focused on individuals who have many years of career experience in tech, and generally have Director+ title. That said, if you're an IC for a big tech co, a solo-preneur or crunchy older programmer that is now indie hacking we might let you in if you have someone vouch for you.

The ideas

We're going to focus each dinner around a theme, but not around any specific content.

  1. Loops, factories, and AFK software dev
  2. Infra talk What are you using, and why?
  3. Getting non-technical people onto AI
  4. Side projects seeking collaborators Open projects looking for serious contributions.

The rules

  • 8–10 people, no laptops, slides or demos.
  • Willing to share what's not working. We're here to discuss the problem space.
  • No pitches. Feel free to talk about what you're building, but no direct pitching solutions.

Cost & food

I collect ~$95 before the event which covers dinner + two drinks. I coordinate with local restaurants for a private room and set menu. Full refund available up to 48 hours prior. Inside that window, $75 refund if I can fill your spot and no refund if I can't. I'll collect dietary needs ahead of time so we aren't distracted with ordering.

Request an invite

This form is longer than a form should be, because the answers are what I curate on. Answer it properly and I will read it properly.

Dates go to the list first. Ask now and you are in the pool for the next one.

Which of these would you want to be at?

The LinkedIn is how I run the overlap check. I don't message people there.

This also puts you on the list for dates. Unsubscribe any time.

Or just the dates

If you're not ready to ask for a seat, leave an email and I'll send the question and the date each month.
