Founder Match: Networking Dinner

The best co-founders, first customers and side projects rarely come from a LinkedIn message. They come from sitting next to the right person.

Founder Match is a seated networking dinner: ten people who are building something, or want to, around one long table at Thunder Road Café in Temple Bar. No stage, no panel, no name-badge small talk. Just good food and the people you should have met months ago.

What's included

• A two-course dinner from Thunder Road Café's set menu, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
• A soft drink. Any other drinks you order and pay for yourself.
• Your seat at the table. We change seats once between courses, so you meet more people than the two sitting next to you.

Why come

• Find your match: a co-founder, a developer for your idea, a designer, a first customer, or a startup to join.
• Talk about your idea and get honest feedback over dinner, not in a pitch.
• Meet people from every university and none: students, early-stage founders and people about to start.

Your ticket

• €25, paid securely by card on Founder Quarter. Your ticket appears in the app with your personal QR code, which we scan at the door.
• Only 10 seats. When they're gone, they're gone.
• Ticket sales close on Wednesday 11 November at 12:00, so we can confirm numbers with the restaurant.
• Can't make it? Cancel at least 48 hours before the dinner and you get your money back minus the card processing fee.

Good founders find each other. See you at the table.

Anyone building something or thinking about it: students from any university, early-stage founders and people who want to join a startup. No pitch deck, no experience needed. Just bring your curiosity.
