No stage. No slides. Just intelligent off the record conversation.
An invitation-only series for executives at fast-growing tech companies. One table, one shared challenge, and a room where nobody has to be careful.
Every company has similar problems. There’s rarely a good place to talk them through with people sitting in the same seat somewhere else.
You can read every case study out there and still not know how somebody actually handled it. Write-ups cover what worked. They skip the part where someone picked between two bad options with half the information, which is usually where you are.
Put a few people in the same seat around one table, with no recording and nobody keeping score, and that’s the part you get. Nobody’s asking you to open the books. It’s just easier to think out loud with people who already understand the problem.
Why people actually talk.
Off the record
Chatham House throughout. No recordings, no press, nobody posting about it after. Say as much or as little as you want. What gets said here stays here.
No vendors, no pitches
Nobody's selling anything, and that includes us. If a partner is at the table, they're there as a practitioner.
No stage
No panels, no slides, no keynote. There's no audience because everyone's in the conversation.
One shared challenge
Each dinner has a single question on the table, picked because everyone in the room is already dealing with it.
The people running fast-growing tech companies.
Our guests lead marketing, engineering, product, and operations at companies somewhere between Series A and Series D. Different industries, different stacks, the same problems showing up in roughly the same order.
We keep the table small and mixed on purpose. The most useful person you meet is usually the one solving your exact problem in an industry you’ve never worked in.

Everything useful gets passed sideways.
Our team has spent decades inside technology companies, and almost nothing that genuinely helped came out of a meeting or a panel. It came from sitting with someone who’d already made the mistake we were about to make.
These dinners are our attempt to make that happen on purpose.
hireworks
We help US startups build AI enabled global teams with vetted talent in Colombia, Argentina, Bulgaria, and Brazil. The proof is in our people.
These dinners aren’t a sales pitch. Hiring comes up, because it always does, but that’s not why we set the table.

These dinners are invitation only, and every invitation is personal. Tell us who you are and what you’re working through. When we’re setting a table where you fit, you’ll hear from us.
