Some of our customers
The problem
Dinners win senior buyers. *Pitch dinners lose them.*
A dinner is still the best way to earn a senior buyer’s time. But they can tell a pitch event from the invitation.
I get multiple steak-dinner invites. I decline them. All of them are pitch events.
The solution
Give them the room they want. *They’ll remember who gave it.*
- YouGive: you bring them the peers they’ve wanted to meet
- At the tableNo pitch. Real conversations among peers
- The seatingNext to the people they asked to meet
- They leaveGrateful, with your name attached to the night
Seat every guest next to the people they asked to meet. That’s the gift, and it comes from you.
How it works
Shape how they remember your brand. *Before, during and after dinner.*
Recruit the right people
The executives you want to know, together with happy customers and relevant peers.
Learn what matters
Questions before dinner reveal each guest’s interests, challenges and who they want to meet.
Build anticipation and connection
A personalized podcast introduces the evening. Seating is based on shared interests.
Individual signals and insights
Direct questions after dinner collect data from each guest and rank who your sales team should talk to first.
No pitch. *Just the right people at the right table.*
Trust forms at the table. Your team steps in only when a guest asks for the next conversation.
Why it scales
The room carries itself. *Anywhere you take it.*
It doesn’t depend on your sales team
The evening doesn’t need a closer. Trust forms at the table, and sales steps in only when a guest asks for the next conversation.
It travels without adding headcount
The same guest mix, seating and customer voices work in any city. Returning guests bring peers, so every new city starts warm.
Don’t sponsor
Don’t sponsor the room. *Own it.*
When you sponsor someone else’s dinner, what the night creates belongs to them.
All of it goes to the organizer

Questions
Everything you’d *want to know.*
How do the packages work?
They’re annual packages, prepaid quarterly. Each quarter we fill a set number of seats across your dinners, and we deduct only for attendees who show up.
Is food included?
No. Package prices exclude food. The average food cost is $75–$150 per person, depending on the location.
Who are the guests?
The executives you want to know, together with your happy customers and relevant peers. You share your target buyers and the customers you want involved; we recruit the guests.
Why do senior buyers say yes?
Because it isn’t a pitch. Each guest tells us what matters to them and who they want to meet, and we seat them next to those people. 82% of guests who view their matches show up.
Will my team pitch at the table?
No. Trust forms at the table. Direct questions after dinner collect data from each guest and rank who your sales team should talk to first.
Do we need a host?
No, but you can add one: an industry leader as host attracts more targets and leads the conversation, for $4,000 per dinner.
What do you handle?
Everything after your goals: inviting your guests, invitations and replies, the venue, seating, food payment, reminders, running the dinner, attendee support and follow-ups.
Can we run it in other cities?
Yes. The same guest mix, seating and customer voices work in any city, without adding headcount. Returning guests bring peers, so every new city starts warm.
