Chess & Chai

A small gathering for founders & product leaders navigating early-stage builds

​Early-stage building can be loud, transactional, and lonely... especially in the months around a fundraise. Chess + Chai is an experiment in slowing things down.

​This is a small, intentional gathering for founders and product leaders who are actively building, shipping, and making real decisions, not pitching, posturing, or performing.

• ​No panels.
• No stage.
• No pressure.

​Just chess boards, warm chai, and thoughtful conversation.

​Who this is for

• ​Seed–Series A B2B founders
• ​Founders actively raising, recently closed, or deep in post-raise execution
• ​A small number of product-oriented CTOs/operators

​What to expect

• ​Casual chess (all levels welcome)
• ​Chai + light snacks
• ​1:1 and small-group conversations
• ​Calm, come-and-go energy

​What it's not

• ​Not a pitch night
• ​Not sales or recruiting
• ​Not competitive chess

​If you’re building and want something slower, quieter, and real...we’d love to have you.
