NYC B2B: Seed → Series B Founder Dinner

NYC B2B, Reitler and Wells Fargo are scheduled to host a Seed-to-Series B founder dinner in New York on Tuesday, May 26, according to the event’s public listing. The dinner is positioned as a small, invite-only gathering for founders raising and scaling between early and growth stages. The listing says registration is full as of Sunday, May 24, and directs would-be attendees to a waitlist. NYC B2B’s event calendar and the Luma registration page both show the event as taking place in New York, with the exact address released only to registrants. ### Who is putting this dinner together? NYC B2B, Reitler and Wells Fargo are named as hosts on the event page. NYC B2B describes itself on its site as a curated calendar and community for B2B SaaS and enterprise AI founders, investors and operators in New York. On the dinner listing, NYC B2B says it has more than 14,000 members. Reitler is described on the Luma page as a venture capital law firm with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Princeton. (luma.com) The listing says the firm represents emerging companies, venture investors and limited partners across seed financings, growth rounds, mergers and acquisitions and exit transactions. ### What kind of founders is the event aimed at? (nycb2b.org) Tuesday’s dinner is aimed at founders between Seed and Series B, according to the title and description on both the Luma page and NYC B2B’s founder-events calendar. The language matters in New York’s startup market because it targets companies that are past formation but still working through hiring, go-to-market and follow-on financing questions. (luma.com) That framing comes from the event description itself, which says the room is meant for “builders at the same stage.” NYC B2B’s founder-events page says it curates dinners, brunches, demo days and networking for pre-seed through Series B founders. The same page says New York has 64 upcoming founder events on its broader calendar, placing the May 26 dinner inside a larger run of founder-focused programming. ### What does “invite-only” mean here in practice? (luma.com) The Luma page says the event is full and that prospective attendees can join a waitlist. The page also says registrants will see the address only after registering, a common format for smaller founder and investor gatherings in New York. The event description says there will be “no panels, no pitching” and instead “honest conversation” in a “hand-picked room.” That language suggests the dinner is being run less as a public conference session and more as a curated networking table, with attendance controlled by the hosts rather than open ticket sales. (nycb2b.org) ### How does it fit into NYC B2B’s broader calendar? (luma.com) NYC B2B’s founder-events page lists the Reitler and Wells Fargo dinner as one of its hosted events on Tuesday, May 26. The same page also lists a Head of Growth dinner in Tribeca for Thursday, May 28, showing that the group is using smaller hosted meals as a recurring format for its community. (luma.com) A Beehiiv newsletter page from NYC B2B published in late April also listed a “Seed → Series B Founder Dinner with Reitler & Wells Fargo” for May 26 among several startup dinners and brunches expected to fill quickly. That earlier mention indicates the dinner was part of NYC B2B’s programming pipeline weeks before the current event date. (nycb2b.org) ### Where can founders still find the details? The NYC B2B founder-events page and the Luma registration page both still carry the May 26 listing as of Sunday, May 24. The Luma page says the event runs Tuesday evening in New York and that people who missed the initial allocation can join the waitlist. NYC B2B’s site also continues to surface the event in its founder calendar alongside other upcoming dinners and networking events through late May. (nycb2b.beehiiv.com) (luma.com)
