Startup Touchdown SF is a weekly dinner series by eChai Ventures, built for visiting founders to plug into the Bay Area’s vibrant startup ecosystem — casually, over good food and great conversations.
This week, with TiEcon bringing founders from across the world to Silicon Valley, we’re hosting a special Founders Dinner on May 6th in San Francisco.
Whether you’re a founder new to the Bay, backed by a global accelerator, or a local looking to connect with ambitious builders — this dinner is for you.
Just real conversations, meaningful connections, and practical insights from those who’ve walked the path — and those just starting out.
What to expect:
• A curated group of early-stage and growth-stage founders
• Bay Area locals who can help you navigate the scene
• Honest advice, introductions, and shared learnings
• A relaxed dinner format (everyone pays for what they order)
Who Should Join:
• Investors & Angels looking for breakout early-stage opportunities
• Builders & Engineers interested in upskilling, AI, or immersive learning
• Designers & Product Thinkers curious about VR/AI-driven UX
• Operators & Founders exploring global collaborations
• And anyone who wants to connect with visiting Indian founders during TiEcon week
This is a casual dinner meetup — no stage, no panels. Just honest stories, bold ideas, and new friendships.
You pay for what you order. No stage, no speeches — just honest conversations.
Let’s gather, connect, and back what matters.
