Opportunity summary

dinnerHQ is a curated networking platform designed to facilitate intimate, face-to-face professional connections through organized group dining. The service specifically targets industry peers, bringing together approximately seven professionals per dinner to foster deep, meaningful business relationships in a setting far more personal than traditional large-scale conferences. The platform operates by coordinating these small-group meals across various global cities, allowing users to connect with others in their specific field. By focusing on the 'dinner table' as a networking venue, the platform's core value proposition is the creation of high-quality, authentic interactions that are difficult to achieve in digital-only or crowded event environments. To function effectively, the platform must manage complex logistics, including participant matching, venue selection, and the ongoing maintenance of a reliable network of professionals across its participating urban hubs.
