Founder Dinners

Weekly dinners with 30+ unicorn founders — Ramp, Deel, Cognition, Kalshi, Mercor. Real relationships, not panel small talk.

Customer Intros

The Soma Story

Decades of building
with superhumans

Soma and the Ranadive family have been building and investing in startups for decades. The lifelong ambition: make friends with brilliant people on day one and be their best resource on the entire path.

The network isn't theoretical. Soma recently helped put together a presidential dinner with CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. The fellows program gives you a seat at that table.
