THE CIRCLE
Fifteen seats. One table. Three hours.
What is the Circle?
The Circle is the room that matters.
Not a conference. Not a club. Not a network.
A curated group of fifteen founders who meet once a month
to have the conversations that never happen anywhere else.
The Circle is deliberately small.
The conversations are deliberately deep.
The curation is deliberately ruthless.
Fifteen seats. Three hours.
Once a month for three months.
No pitching. No panels. No cameras.
Just the conversations founders never get to have.
By invitation only.
The Curation
NOT FOR EVERYONE. THATS THE POINT
Not a guest list. A composition.
Most founder events optimize for headcount.
We optimize for conversation quality.
How we curate:
The Mix – Founders at different stages, different sectors, same seriousness.
No competitive overlap. No tourists. No one who just wants to “network.”
The Chemistry – We don’t just invite individuals. We design the entire table.
Who can help who. Who needs to meet who. Who will challenge who.
Fifteen people. One table. Three hours.
Curated so the conversation is worth the time.
By invitation only
HOW IT WORKS
Three hours. One table. One conversation.
The Arrival
You walk into a private room. Fifteen founders. No name tags. No agendas.
Just a table, a few bottles of wine, and three hours ahead.
The Format
We start with one question. Not “what do you do” but something real.
One thread. Three hours. Everyone contributes. No one dominates.
What’s said here stays here.
The Outcome
By the end, you’ve had the conversation you can’t have with your team,
your board, or your Investors.
You leave with clarity, partnerships, or both.
The SEAT
THE Philosophy
Why we exist.
Building is lonely. Every founder knows this.
You’re surrounded by people team, investors, advisors but the conversations
you need to have can’t happen with any of them.
Your team needs you to have the answers.
Your board needs you to show growth.
Your co-founder is too close to see clearly.
Obsidian Circle exists for the conversation you can’t have anywhere else.
Just fifteen founders, once a month, thinking out loud in the one room where that’s finally safe.
The room that rarely exists.
Until now.
If you are asking whether this is for you — it probably is…
The ROOM
Obsidian Circle is held in a private room at venues chosen for their intimacy, not their fame.
The food is exceptional. The wine is considered. The atmosphere is unhurried.
You will leave with one or two people you will know for the rest of your career.
Luxury is the container. Conversation is the point
THE DOOR
The circle is small. Deliberately
Every seat is considered. Fill in the form and we will be in touch.
