Some of the best conversations in venture capital happen away from the boardroom—over dinner, among peers, and in spaces designed for meaningful connection. Last night, we gathered a select group of founders and investors at Juniper in Tulsa for a Funder Founder Dinner, an intimate evening where ideas flowed as easily as the courses from Justin Thompson’s kitchen. With just 60 seconds to pitch, founders sparked discussions that continued long after the timer stopped. To those who joined us—thank you for being part of something special!
