My name is Chris. I'm a serial entrepreneur. I also build communities that enable entrepreneurship. Nothing great is built alone. Companies flourish when the right people find each other. I create the rooms where those relationships begin.
My calling —
Founders rarely fail for lack of talent. More often, they fail for lack of the right connections. I built a nationwide Founder Dinners program to catalyze and nurture the relationships that change the trajectories of companies.
Trust compounds fastest face to face. My nationwide Investor Dinners program connects exceptional CEOs and GPs with aligned angels and LPs. The best long-term partnerships rarely begin over Zoom.
The right introduction can change a career, a company, or a life. When I believe two people should know each other, nothing excites me more than the opportunity to connect them.

years of founding companies, two of which were acquired.
invested through introductions I've made.
people in my personal network.
US cities where I've hosted dinners to introduce strangers.
There's more to my story than the companies I've built.
