Early-stage founders in New York who want candor over pitching — people building companies who need a room where they can say the hard thing out loud.
What to expect
Monthly off-the-record dinners, a founder-only reading group, and small working sessions on hiring, fundraising, and product. Recent highlights include a joint session with a visiting climate fund and a founder storytelling night.
The story
Founders Table NYC began as a single dinner in March 2024, when Maya Chen invited ten early-stage founders to talk honestly about what building actually feels like. The dinners became a monthly tradition, and the table kept growing.
