NYC B2B Seed→Series B Founder Dinner

NYC B2B, Reitler and Wells Fargo are scheduled to host a Seed→Series B founder dinner in New York on Tuesday, May 26, according to the event’s Luma listing. The event is billed as a curated dinner for startup founders raising and operating between seed and Series B. The listing says the session will run from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. EDT and that the exact address will be shared only with registered attendees. As of Sunday, May 24, the registration page showed the event as full and directed interested attendees to a waitlist. ### Who is organizing the dinner on May 26? NYC B2B, Reitler and Wells Fargo are named as hosts on the Luma page for the dinner. The listing describes NYC B2B as “the city’s largest B2B startup community” and says it has more than 14,000 members. Reitler is described on the page as a venture capital law firm with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Princeton. (luma.com) Reitler’s role in the event matches the focus described in the listing. The page says the firm works with emerging companies, venture investors and limited partners across seed financings, growth rounds, mergers and acquisitions and exit transactions. That places one of the event’s named hosts squarely in the legal and financing work common to companies moving from early fundraising into later-stage scaling. (luma.com) ### What kind of founders is this dinner aimed at? The Luma page says the dinner is for “Seed through Series B founders.” The same listing says the format is a curated conversation among builders at a similar stage, rather than a public-facing networking event or pitch session. “No panels, no pitching” is the phrase used in the event description. The listing says the goal is “honest conversation” with a hand-picked group of founders. (luma.com) That framing puts the event closer to a closed-door operator dinner than a conference session, demo day or investor showcase. ### What details are public, and what is being kept private? Tuesday, May 26, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (luma.com) EDT is the public time listed for the dinner. New York, New York is the only location detail shown publicly on the registration page. The exact venue is withheld until registration, according to the listing. The registration status is also public. As of the latest available listing, the event was marked “Event Full,” and the page invited prospective attendees to join a waitlist to be notified if more spots open. (luma.com) ### How does this fit into NYC B2B’s broader event calendar? NYC B2B’s own event ecosystem appears to include a steady run of founder-focused gatherings in New York. (luma.com) A Beehiiv post associated with NYC B2B listed the May 26 Seed→Series B founder dinner with Reitler and Wells Fargo alongside other small-format events, including founder brunches and operator dinners in May and early June. NYC B2B’s main site and founder-events pages also present the organization as a hub for founder and B2B startup programming in the city. The broader positioning is consistent with the dinner’s invitation-only format and stage-specific targeting. ### Where can founders still try to get in? The Luma event page is the clearest live registration source for the May 26 dinner. (nycb2b.beehiiv.com) That page says the event is full but still allows founders to join a waitlist. NYC B2B’s website is the other public source named in the event description for current listings and organizer information. With the dinner set for Tuesday, May 26, the next concrete step for interested founders is to monitor the Luma waitlist and NYC B2B’s event pages for any released spots or follow-on dinners.
