Spotlight Events

Invite & approval only: CTOs, Heads, and VPs of Engineering at Fortune 1000 companies, operating in highly-regulated industries.

While You’re Using AI Tools, Others Are Going AI-Native
While many organizations remain stuck in pilots and productivity experiments, some have already redesigned their software development lifecycle to be AI-native. Moving faster, shipping more safely, and operating at lower cost. The gap is widening.

The challenge isn’t access to AI. It’s driving adoption, scale, and orchestration across the enterprise.

This private, off-the-record dinner brings together 16–20 senior CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and Heads of Engineering to compare notes on what it actually takes to move beyond tooling and into AI-native delivery.

You’ll hear directly from peers who are:

  • Further along the maturity curve

  • Enabling enterprise development teams with AI, not side experiments

  • Rethinking architecture, teams, and delivery models — not just adopting new tools

No panels. No pitches. Just real war stories, peer learning, and high-trust conversation — hosted in a Michelin-star private dining room. We will have a private room to ourselves, and individually-assigned seating using our proprietary AI algorithms. There will also be a seat change and ample time for mingling before & after dinner, so you'll get to know everyone in the room.

Invite & approval only: Venture-Backed Founders, C-Suites at Tech Companies, VPs, Directors, and Investors interested in South East Asia (SEA).

There will also be time for networking and meeting other Founders, C-Suite, VPs and Directors for curated connections and conversations, over a full stomach.

Celebrate the Lunar New Year with us at Broadway Investing 101, an exclusive evening featuring the creative and producing team behind the award-winning musical Golem Owned A Tropical Smoothie.

From a few of the producers and managers behind Broadway hits including Hamilton and The Book of Mormon, these insiders pull back the curtain on how Broadway really works — demystifying the investing process and tracing how a show moves from page to stage — plus an exclusive sneak peek at the viral new musical Golem Owned a Tropical Smoothie ahead of its Off-Broadway debut this summer.

What to Expect:

  • A fireside chat with Broadway producers and operators on the business of theatre investing as well as GOATS's history and future plans

  • Insights into how Broadway projects are developed, funded, and scaled

  • Live performance snippets from Golem Owned A Tropical Smoothie (GOATS) — including music and moments from the show

  • A high-quality networking reception with ambitious professionals in tech, business, finance, and the arts

  • Drinks available at the bar and complimentary Southeast Asian-inspired bites in celebration of Lunar New Year

What Happened Last Week?

We also hosted our January Private Founders Dinner in NYC feat. Khosla Ventures ($15B+ AUM, Backed OpenAI & Doordash). We got the insider scoop on how top VCs actually identify top founders. From why they're stalking your LinkedIn to check your hires, not your revenue 👀, to why being spiky and world-class at one thing beats being well-rounded, and how the best fintech disruptors (Square, Stripe, Brex) weren't from fintech at all — first-principles thinking beats domain expertise every time 🧠.

A huge thank you to Adina for sharing your insights candidly, Jared for moderating and to Vouch Insurance, Stifel Bank & Justworks for making this dinner possible! 

Much love,
