Why this exists

The right room is hard to find.

Only for former strategy consultants in tech.

  • Smaller circle
  • Sharper conversations
  • Better introductions
  • In person

Curated peer gatherings

Intimate dinners, walks, and salons built around people worth knowing well.

Thoughtful introductions

Connections made with intention, not volume.

Technology & operator discussions

The realities of building and leading in technology.

A recurring in-person rhythm

Enough shared time in New York for trust to build.

Who should apply

This may be a fit if you are…

  • a former strategy consultant from firms such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Kearney, Oliver Wyman, Strategy&, L.E.K., or similar
  • now working in technology
  • operating, founding, advising, investing, or leading teams

Probably not a fit if you want a passive event subscription or a room for aggressive pitching.
