Know your next hires before you hire them.
Research dinners and talks for the people you most want to hire, with the researchers they’d work with. No pitch. Just the work and the people.
The best people aren’t applying.
The researchers and engineers you most want are not looking, and they ignore recruiters. What moves them is the work and the people, and they rarely meet either until an interview.
Before, at the table, and after.
Every event teaches the next: what your guests tell us shapes who you invite and who sits together next time. All of it stays inside your own system.
The people you would hire tomorrow
The researchers and engineers you want, invited by the people on your team they would want to meet.
They meet your team
Each guest is seated with the people on your team working on what they care about.
Around the problems, not the job
Talks, dinners and workshops planned around the questions your team is working on.
A relationship, not a pipeline
After each dinner, we tell your team who wants to keep talking, and only when both sides said yes.
Relationships before offers.
- 01
Research dinners
The people you want to hire, at one table with the people they would work with.

Technical talks
Your team on the problems it is solving, for an audience that cares.
- 03
Workshops and hack nights
Working together, which says more than any interview.

- 06
Alumni
The people who left, and the ones who might come back.
Your first dinner in three weeks.
$400 for each researcher who comes. Food and venue are paid separately. Everything else is on us.
Start with one research dinner: 25 researchers, $10,000. Most companies then plan the year.
Tell us who
Who you want in the room, and where.
We plan it with you
The guest list, the invitations and the evening, reviewed with you before anything goes out.
The evening
Run end to end by our team. You host.
What it led to
Every guest followed up, and a report on what happened next.
Built in the lab. Proven in real rooms.
We already run dinners for Cerebras, Zoom and Zscaler, match attendees at HumanX, and bring Stanford graduates together.
Nothing goes out without your yes
Invitations go out only in your people’s names, and only once they have approved them.
Both sides, or nothing
We tell your team someone wants to keep talking only when both sides said yes.
Your data stays yours
It stays in your own databases, on your own isolated computer in the cloud. Not even we can open it, and we never train on it.
Before we talk.
Is this a recruiting event?
No. People come for the work and the people. Nobody is pitched a job in the room.
How much of our researchers’ time?
The evening itself. We do the inviting, the planning and the follow-up.
Who invites them?
The people on your team they would want to meet, in their own name, and only with their approval.
What about candidates’ privacy?
What someone shares is used only for your dinners, and their interest is shown only when it is mutual. Your data stays in your own databases; we never train on it.
Who counts as a researcher?
Only people who match who you asked for: by name, by paper, by the team you want to build. You agree the guest list with us before anything goes out.
What does it cost?
$400 for each researcher who comes, plus food and venue, which you pay for separately. Everything else is on us. Most companies start with one research dinner: 25 researchers, $10,000.
What if fewer researchers come?
You pay only for the researchers who come. What you pay goes in as credit, each researcher who comes is drawn from it, and anything left stays as credit for your next dinner.
How fast can we start?
Three weeks from signing to your first dinner.
