Therefore, the 'banner' type fits best.

Exclusive builder gathering: Strategic brunch meets collective intelligence.

Bring your most pressing challenge to a confidential setting where fellow startup founders/operators offer solutions from their own experiences. No pitches or passive networking—just practical problem-solving with peers who understand your journey. The guest list will be curated to maintain high-quality discussions and ensure meaningful solutions.

This exclusive brunch, moderated by Diane Choi from Samsung Next, is designed for founders and operators who are actively building.

Event Details

  • Date: Sunday June 1, 2025
  • Time: 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
  • Location: Manhattan, NYC (RSVP for exact location)
  • Format: Confidential roundtable discussion over brunch

The Concept: Bring Your Challenge

Each guest must come prepared with one specific challenge they’re actively working to solve. As we progress through brunch, guests will share their challenges and receive targeted solutions from peers who have faced similar obstacles.

What Kind of Challenges Should I Bring?

We welcome a variety of founder challenges at different stages:

  • Growth Obstacles: Specific bottlenecks preventing you from reaching the next level
  • Strategic Decisions: Key forks in the road where experienced input would be valuable
  • Market Positioning: Challenges around market differentiation or target market selection
  • Team Building: Hurdles in hiring, structuring, or developing your team
  • Product Development: Technical or market fit challenges as you build
  • Capital Strategy: Fundraising approaches or investor relationship questions
  • Operational Efficiency: Systems or process challenges scaling your business

The ideal challenge is specific enough to address in a 5-7 minute discussion that generates actionable solutions. It should be authentic—the thorniest problems often lead to the most valuable exchanges.

Who Should Attend

Exclusively for startup founders/operators who:

  • Have a specific challenge they’re working to solve
  • Value both giving and receiving candid feedback from fellow builders

What to Expect

  • Structured problem-solving format—every founder presents one challenge
  • Moderated discussion to ensure solutions are practical and diverse
  • Confidential environment where candid sharing is encouraged
  • Premium brunch experience that facilitates meaningful conversation

In a landscape filled with generic networking events, this gathering stands apart by focusing on practical problem-solving. Connect with peers who understand the unique challenges of building a startup and form relationships based on genuine value exchange.

Space is strictly limited to 10-12 founders. Your ticket to entry? A real challenge you’re facing and a willingness to help others solve theirs.
