The best business friendships start over dinner.
We started Tribecca because owners rarely get to sit down with other owners. So we set a Wednesday dinner, kept the tables small and left out the name tags.
Running a business gets lonely.
When you own a business, you make calls nobody on your payroll can make with you. Other owners know what that's like. But most events for business owners are built to generate leads.
So we started a dinner club for founders and business owners. You apply once, and we seat you at a table of 6 to 8 people who run businesses of their own, matched on what you're working on and the kind of table you like. It's always a Wednesday, so showing up becomes a habit.
People come to Tribecca to meet other owners, talk shop, share what they're building and make friends who last beyond the dinner. Every member owns and runs a business of their own. Work sometimes comes out of those friendships on its own, but unsolicited selling and prospecting aren't why we're here.
Wednesdays at 6:30, at a table of 6 to 8.
The night and the time don't change, and the table stays small enough that everyone gets a word in.
Four rules we don't break.
We read every application
We check that you own and run a business, and that you're here to meet people. Your industry never counts against you.
We protect your privacy
The guest list shows a name and a photo, nothing more. Only confirmed guests get the restaurant's address, the day before dinner. We never sell or share your data, or make money from it.
We let the dinner convince you
That's why the first 50 Oakland members get their wristband free.
We open a city only when we can fill it
A new city opens once enough people there join the waitlist. We'd rather wait than seat a half-empty table.
We got tired of waiting for good dinners to happen by accident.
The conversations that moved our businesses forward happened over dinner with other owners, when nobody was performing.
Tribecca makes those dinners happen on purpose, on Wednesdays. We're starting in Oakland, and we'd love to see you at one of the first tables.
Come to dinner.
Apply once, and we'll find you a table.
