Dinner Series - The Deep Tech Table

A quarterly, invite-only dinner series bringing together founders, researchers, funders, and operators building the future of deep tech.

About the Series

The Deep Tech Table is a quarterly, invite-only dinner series bringing together a small, curated group of ~20 founders, researchers, funders, and operators working at the frontier of innovation in domains such as AI, Quantum, Space, Infrastructure, Data, and Security. 
Over great food and meaningful conversation, we create space for honest, off-the-record discussions about what it really takes to bring breakthrough science to market.
Guests represent sectors including AI, energy, biotech, quantum, and defense. All carefully selected to ensure alignment and depth of dialogue. This is not a public event.
Every seat is intentional, and every conversation is designed to connect the right people at the right time.

Frequently asked questions

Who's actually in the room?

Think ~20 people who are in the thick of building deep tech. Founders taking science to market. Researchers testing commercialization. Funders who know what long cycles look like. Policy folks who can actually move the needle. Every dinner is a different mix, but always intentional.

Are these dinners public?

Nope. These aren’t “networking events.” They’re invite-only, with every seat chosen for a reason. The conversations are off-the-record, and the goal is depth over scale.

Where do they happen?

Denver and Boulder, usually in private dining rooms or chef-driven spots (our first was at Blackbelly). We pick settings that make it easy to lean in, have real conversation, and actually enjoy the food and drink.

If I request an invite, am I guaranteed a seat?

Not always. We get more interest than we can accommodate, and we keep the table small on purpose. If there’s alignment, we’ll reach out with a formal invite.

What’s in it for sponsors beyond a logo on a menu?

Sponsors are partners in this series. Yes, there’s visibility, but more importantly: curated intros, alignment with Colorado’s most ambitious deep tech founders and funders, and cross-platform recognition through the podcast, summit. It’s about credibility and connections, not just placement.

Do guests pay to attend?

No. Attendance is covered by sponsors who believe in making these conversations happen. Guests just show up ready to engage.
