About S&A
We could spin you some story about "bridging creativity and commerce" but you'd fall asleep and we'd feel dirty.
Tauhir Jones spent 15 years watching brilliant people circle each other like ships in the night.
The artist who needed capital. The investor who needed culture. The founder who needed both.
Everyone at their own events. Everyone speaking their own language. Everyone missing the point.
So, we started putting these people at the same table.
The agenda was dinner. That's it.
When you remove the theater, people do business.
By invitation only and free to attend
No pitches, business cards, or networking theater.
70% follow-up rate between guests
Last quarter's SF dinner generated three partnerships and one $2M deal.
Real business relationships built over exceptional meals
The kind of conversation that happens when money isn't the reason people are in the room.
Global perspective with local relevance
Cultural arbitrage opportunities you won't find in your local chamber of commerce.
Former & current executives: Coinbase, Uber, YouTube, Spotify, NVIDIA, Meta, Google, Netflix, Open
Creative leaders: Emmy-winning directors, gallery owners, Grammy nominated producers, award winning filmmakers
Capital allocators: Venture partners, family office advisors writing checks to the future
Cultural strategists: Anthropologists advising Fortune 500 boards
Independent builders: Artists scaling global audiences, founders bridging creativity and commerce
The right dinner with the right people is worth more than whatever we could charge.
Plus nothing important happens at a networking event with a cover charge.
If you build things worth building, create culture worth consuming, or invest in either, you belong here.
If you're hunting for leads, free food, or LinkedIn connections there's a WeWork event somewhere with your name on it.
