Cabinette Dinner

Join us for an exclusive dinner to kickoff the 2026 Cabinette cohort on the East Coast. This curated evening is designed to spark conversation and perspective shifts that define the path to outsized growth and long-term success.
For founders at a certain stage, the questions stop being about survival and start being about architecture. How do you build a business that scales without you at the center of everything? What does the right capital partner actually look like, and when does taking money help versus complicate? And when it comes to an eventual exit, how do you build toward one intentionally rather than react to it when it arrives?
On June 18th in New York City, we are sitting down with Allison Beller for an honest dinner conversation about all of it.
Allison is a Partner at Prelude Growth Partners, a consumer-focused growth equity firm that backs high-growth brands including Sol de Janeiro, Summer Fridays, Westman Atelier, Fly By Jing, Bachan's, Blueland, and Skin Pharm. Before Prelude, she spent nearly two decades as a Managing Director in Goldman Sachs's Private Equity group focused on consumer and services businesses. She has spent her career evaluating what makes a consumer brand durable, scalable, and ultimately valuable, and she brings that lens to everything she does.
The evening begins at 6 pm with a cocktail hour to connect with fellow members. From there, we move into a seated dinner, opening with a round of introductions where each attendee shares one question on their mind around funding, scale, or exit. It is a way to hear who is in the room and what is actually top of mind before moving into a moderated fireside with Allison. We will close with open table discussions so you can go deeper on the conversations that matter most to you.
Whether you are thinking about what the right capital structure looks like for your next phase, how to build operational infrastructure that does not depend entirely on you, or how to position your brand for a future exit on your own terms, this is the room to be in.
