A Warm Evening in the Windy City

Last month, FoundersCard CEO, Eric Kuhn, and COO, Amanda Meador, hosted an evening of dining, connection, and conversation in the windy city. At one of the top restaurants in Chicago, Tre Dita, 20 members gathered for an unforgettable night. From the first glass poured to the final bite, the night captured everything these dinner series are meant to deliver: a beautiful setting, incredible food, and meaningful conversations among Members.

Check out some highlights from our event. We're hosting more Founders Table Dinners in major cities the rest of the year— be on the lookout for ones in your city soon.

Thoughtful Touches That Made the Night

Guests left not only with new connections, but with tokens of appreciation that reinforced the special nature of the evening. Members received surprise gift bags with partner sponsored goodies, including a signed cookbook by the chef. Shout out to our benefit partners who contributed to these gifts: Serena & Lily, Kiehl’s, Aescape, Vacation Sunscreen, and Hudson Made!

The event was hosted by the amazing team at Tre Dita Chicago—the service, food, and ambiance were nothing short of perfection.

We’re excited to continue building on this momentum bringing more of these curated, intimate moments to Members across the country. We hope to see you at one soon!
