AI Entrepreneurs Supper

Eighteen seats. One long table. An evening for people who are building businesses with AI rather than just talking about it.

Who it's for

Founders, owner-managers and solo operators using AI to build a product, automate the dull parts of the business, or do a job that used to need a hire. Whether you've shipped something or you're three weeks into a prototype, you belong here. Sales pitches don't.

How the evening runs

• 7:30pm Drinks at the bar. Marc meets you at the door.
• 8:00pm Sit down. Everyone gets ninety seconds: who you are, what you're building, what's stuck.
• 8:15pm Starters, and the first question goes round the table.
• 9:00pm Mains. This is where the conversation loosens up.
• 10:00pm Dessert, coffee, and the question we always end on: what will you try before the next dinner?
• 10:30pm Done. Nobody has to stay. Most people do.

Questions on the table

We pick two or three on the night. Recent favourites:

1. What did you automate this month, and what did it actually save?
2. Where has AI quietly made your product worse?
3. What's the job you'd hire a person for tomorrow, if you could?

House rules

• Chatham House. Share freely. Nothing leaves the room with a name attached.
• No pitching. Talk about problems, not fundraising.
• One table. No breakout groups and no laptops. Phones are for photos of the pudding.

Good to know

• There's parking on site and Colchester station is a short taxi ride away.
• Tell us about allergies and dietary needs when you book. The kitchen will sort it.
• Running late? Text Marc on the number in your confirmation email.
