SUMMARY:Founders Feast - Scale-up Edition
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to invite our scale members to this edition of the Founders Feast! This casual dinner is for the members who’ve been around for a while\, who are further along in their scale-up journey. It’s a chance to swap experiences\, share knowledge\, brainstorm\, and just enjoy some time with fellow founders and teams. \nWe’ll do a long-table dinner in a “founders potluck” style: everyone brings a dish made with\, or inspired by\, their own product\, or something you just love to eat. Some examples from past dinners: \n– La Spaghettata: Lasagne bolognese– Grovehood Collective: olive oil based dips– MICHE: sourdough bread– Mamaschai: Chai cake \nTogether\, we’ll create one big shared buffet. Kitchen Republic will provide drinks\, and the rest.   \nRegistration Please RSVP before March 9th and fill in what you’ll be bringing for dinner. If you’re unable to attend\, please let us know at least 12 hours in advance.
