A place to share ideas and break bread.
Join our monthly supper series in Bentonville, Arkansas where entrepreneurs, startup founders, and like-minded leaders come together to tell stories, create connections, and share a fine meal.
Founders Dinner is a unique monthly supper series for entrepreneurs and founders in Northwest Arkansas to connect authentically. Our mission is to foster genuine relationships and share invaluable insights over a shared meal in an intimate setting—an "anti-networking" approach that prioritizes meaningful connections over traditional networking.
Forget the pressure of exchanging business cards or making small talk with a room full of strangers. Each dinner is designed to foster genuine, organic conversations with a curated guest list where you can truly engage with like-minded folks.
Founders Dinner takes a fresh approach to building meaningful connections. Here’s what to expect.
Curated & Intimate
Each dinner is kept small and intimate, with a hand-selected group of entrepreneurs. This creates an environment where you can form deep, lasting relationships and have quality discussions with like-minded folks. Supper is provided by our generous sponsors, so come as you are.
Meaningful Conversation
Bring your ideas and challenges, professional and personal, to the table. The focus isn’t on selling, pitching, or introductions — it’s about sharing your experiences in a way that allows for real collaboration and support. There is never an agenda for dinner, only genuine conversation.
Homegrown Community
We’re inviting local leaders, mentors, and go-getters to share a meal, creating opportunities to support one another, learn from our diverse journeys, and build unexpected partnerships.
Join us for Third Thursday.

Stay tuned for something incredible.
A focus on the table, not the tab.
Meaningful connections are made when we’re free from distractions. That’s why we pick up the tab for all guests. By removing the worries of menu choices, ordering, settling up, or paying for a ticket, we set the tone for an evening where everyone is fully engaged on the people and conversation at the table from the moment they walk in the room.
Our partners make this unique experience possible.
