Apply once. Wednesdays handle themselves.

First

Tell us what you're building

A short application about your business and how you like a table to feel. We screen for one thing — people who own and run something of their own.

Second

We set your table

Six builders, matched across industries and energy, with talking points sent before you arrive. You never walk into a cold room.

Third

Dinner at half past six

A neighborhood restaurant and a long conversation. Rebook next Wednesday in one tap.

Who holds a place

A table reserved for owner-builders.

Seat reserved

Owners & founders

People running a business of their own — a bakery, a fund, a software company, a landscaping crew. Ownership matters; industry and headcount don't.

House rule

Relationships over transactions

Come to meet owners you want to know, trade ideas, and help each other move forward. Business conversation is part of Tribecca; unsolicited selling, recruiting, and working the room for leads are not.

Here for the people, not the pipeline.

The night itself

Real food. Real neighborhoods. Real conversation.

Privacy, by design

The neighborhood now. The address when it matters.

Tablemates stay hidden until you commit. A room no one can work is a room everyone can trust.

The day before

The venue drops

Your restaurant arrives the day before dinner — always in the neighborhood shown.

Dinner day

The guest list is revealed

Your five tablemates — a name and a photo each — arrive the day of dinner.

“At the end of every dinner, the table rates the vibe. Five stars means the group stays connected — the conversation doesn't end when the check comes.”

Questions, answered

Before you request a seat.

What is Tribecca?
Tribecca is a curated dinner community for entrepreneurs, founders and business owners. You apply once, and at our Wednesday dinners, 6:30 PM, we seat you at a matched table of six people building businesses of their own.
What does it cost?
The first 50 Oakland members get their wristband free, and Riza brings it. After that, $20 plus $5 shipping. It's the band you wear to every dinner, and dinner itself is pay-your-own at the restaurant.
Who can join?
People who own and run their own business — a bakery, a fund, a software company, a landscaping crew. Industry and headcount never matter; ownership and intent do. Two rules: every member owns and runs a business of their own, and pitching — recruiting, prospecting, or selling to fellow members — is prohibited at dinners and throughout the community. Members can flag pitching, and flags carry real consequences.
How does matching work?
Your application tells us what you're building and how you like a table to feel. For each dinner, our matching pairs you with five other builders — different industries, compatible energy — and sends talking points before you arrive, so you never walk into a cold room.
Where is Tribecca?
Oakland is our first city. We're seating its founding room now, and Wednesday dinners begin in October. New cities unlock as builders join the waitlist. — raise your hand for your city.
The founding window is open

Applications are open, and Oakland's founding group is forming. Request a seat and we'll bring you to the table as it opens.
