Seed to Series B Founder Dinner — NYC

NYC B2B is set to hold a Seed-to-Series B founder dinner in New York on Tuesday, May 26, according to the group’s event listings. The gathering is positioned as a small, curated in-person dinner for startup founders and investors rather than a public conference or pitch event. The Luma registration page says the event will run from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. EDT in New York and that the exact address is shared only with registrants. The same page says registration is already full and offers a waitlist. ### Who is organizing the dinner, and who is it for? NYC B2B is the organizer named on the event listing, which describes the dinner as aimed at Seed through Series B founders. The community describes itself on its website and event calendar as a New York network for B2B startup founders, operators and investors, with more than 14,000 members. The May 26 dinner is also tied to Reitler and Wells Fargo on the Luma page, which labels the event “NYC B2B x Reitler x Wells Fargo: Seed → Series B Founder Dinner.” Reitler is described there as a venture-focused law firm that works with emerging companies, venture investors and limited partners across financings, M&A and exits. ### What kind of event is this — and what is it not? The Luma page says the format is “a curated dinner” with “no panels, no pitching” and “honest conversation” among a hand-picked group of builders at similar stages. That wording places the event closer to closed-door peer networking than to a demo day, conference session or open meetup. NYC B2B’s broader event materials point in the same direction. Its founder-events and calendar pages market curated dinners, brunches and networking events for founders from pre-seed through Series B, suggesting the May 26 dinner fits a repeat format rather than a one-off gathering. ### What details are public before the event? Tuesday, May 26, is the scheduled date, and the public listing gives a 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. EDT time slot in New York. The exact venue is withheld on the registration page, which says attendees must register to see the address. The event page also says the dinner is full. Prospective attendees are directed to join a waitlist, an indication that capacity is limited and that admission is being managed rather than opened broadly. ### Why does the stage range matter here? Seed to Series B is the stage band named in the listing, and that defines the audience more tightly than a general startup mixer would. Founders in that range are typically moving from early product and fundraising work into hiring, go-to-market and scaling questions, though the event page itself does not spell out an agenda. Reitler’s description on the listing also tracks that stage focus. The firm says it advises clients across seed financings and growth rounds, which aligns with the companies the dinner says it is convening. ### Where can people still find the event? NYC B2B’s Luma calendar still shows the May 26 dinner among its startup events in New York. The group’s website also directs readers to nycb2b.org for current event information, and its newsletter and event pages promote similar founder dinners and brunches. May 26 is the next milestone for this event, with the dinner scheduled for Tuesday evening in New York. As of the latest public listing, the registration page remains full, and the waitlist is the next available step for prospective attendees.
