Chess & Chai

Chess + Chai is an experiment in slowing things down and raising the signal.
A small, curated gathering of founders, product leaders, and technical operators building and scaling beyond the early stage.
The focus is simple: real conversations with people actively navigating growth, complexity, and decision-making at scale.
This isn’t a networking event.
No pitching. No panels.
Just chess boards, warm chai, and thoughtful conversation with people who are in it.
