/ About this event

Some conversations don't happen at mixers. This one is for founders who've crossed the hardest line in startups — real revenue — and are building toward what comes next.

Who's at the table: founders at $500K+ ARR who are raising now or within the next 12 months. That's the bar, and it's firm. This table is for operators comparing notes on the same stage of the same climb: scaling revenue without scaling headcount to match, agentic execution — where AI actually runs parts of the business versus where it just assists — capital strategy for the round ahead, and the operating decisions that compound between $500K and $5M.

The format: one table on the rooftop, one evening, no pitches and no panel. A working dinner among peers, with the candor that only happens when everyone in the room has the same problems and nobody's performing. Two nights after 200 people opened Tech Week on this rooftop, thirty founders close the loop at one table.

Why this table matters if you're raising: the hosts aren't spectators. Musa Capital invests in vertical AI and enterprise software at exactly this stage and runs a 16,000-member operator community built on one idea — the founders who master agentic execution and revenue-per-head efficiency are building the next generation of category leaders. 726 Ventures is launching Fund I and will be actively allocating at the time of this dinner. Some of the people at this table we'll back. Some we'll build alongside. All of them raise the bar.

Your hosts:

Musa Capital — early-stage fund backing vertical AI and enterprise software founders 726 Ventures (Monica Pool) — early-stage fund backing exceptional underrepresented founders; launching Fund I and actively allocating

Presented by TriNet — the HR platform built for exactly this stage: payroll, big-company benefits, compliance, and HR expertise for growing companies, so founders can operate like a company twice their size without building the back office of one. TriNet's team will be at the table — not presenting, participating.

Presented by Mayer Brown — global law firm with one of the premier emerging companies and venture capital practices in the world, advising founders and funds from first financing through exit. For a table of companies heading into their next round, Mayer Brown's attorneys will be exactly where you'd want them — at the dinner, not on a stage.

Seats confirmed by application — tell us your ARR band and where your raise stands. Invitation only.
