On July 22, Startup Grind brought together a curated group of startup founders and tech leaders for an intimate Founders Dinner at the iconic 25 Lusk in San Francisco. Sponsored by Salesbricks, the evening offered a rare chance for early-stage founders and seasoned operators to break bread, share stories, and engage in real talk about the highs and lows of building in today’s market.

‍

Over a multi-course dinner, conversations flowed on topics like go-to-market challenges, AI integration, fundraising realities, and what’s next in SaaS. The vibe was casual, the connections were genuine, and the energy in the room was unmistakably founder-first.

This was more than just a dinner—it was a space to pause, connect, and get recharged by a community that understands the founder journey. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and to Salesbricks for powering this evening of meaningful dialogue.
