How it works

Quiz. Match. Weekend.

  1. I.
    Eleven questions

    Eight about how you think — the same personality quiz behind oddtables — and three about the company: stage, sector, and what you actually want from the table.

  2. II.
    Five founders, deliberately spread

    We seat you with five founders at different stages. Never six pre-seed. Never two people from the same company. Sectors mixed on purpose.

  3. III.
    The invite lands on WhatsApp

    Neighbourhood, format, and a link. Tap yes or no. The venue is revealed the day before.

  4. IV.
    Weekends

    A meal, one table, no agenda. Nobody pitches. Nobody demos. You leave with five numbers you'll actually use.

Who it’s for

Every stage.
Never one stage.

The point is the spread. The idea-stage founder gets the person who’s already been through the thing they’re dreading. The exited founder gets to be useful without being pitched. Everyone gets a meal where nobody asks about runway.

  • Idea stage
    Still a doc, a deck, or a weekend prototype.
  • Pre-seed
    Building. Maybe a small cheque or two.
  • Seed
    Raised a seed round. Finding the wedge.
  • Series A or later
    Scaling. Hiring is the problem now.
  • Bootstrapped & profitable
    No investors. Customers pay the bills.
  • Exited
    Sold, merged, or wound down — thinking about what's next.
Not for

Selling to the table. Recruiting at the table. Anyone who needs a slide to say who they are.

Questions

Asked before you did.

Do I have to pitch?
No. Nobody does. If someone starts, the table is allowed to change the subject. This is a meal with peers, not a demo day.
Will there be investors at the table?
Sometimes — a few members are angels or operate funds. They're there as founders first, and the no-pitching rule applies to them too. If you tell us you'd like to meet investors, we factor it in; we never promise it.
How are tables built?
Affinity first — the personality quiz decides who'll click. Then a deliberate spread of stages so an idea-stage founder sits with someone who's exited, and a bootstrapped founder with someone mid-raise. Same company never shares a table.
Who's at the table?
Six people including you. Founders only — solo, co-founding, bootstrapped, funded, exited. We verify a government ID before your first table.
When do tables happen?
Weekends. Your invite tells you the neighbourhood and time for that specific table.
Which cities?
We're opening city by city. Pick yours in the quiz — if we're not there yet, you'll be first on the list when we are.
What does it cost?
₹3,999 a month + GST. Billed monthly, cancel from your dashboard anytime. The bill at the venue is yours — we take no cut from what you eat.
Is my company name shown?
Only to us, and only to keep colleagues at different tables. Your tablemates meet you, not your LinkedIn.
