Five things we ask of a co-host
No stage, no pitching, no panel. The dinner works because the co-hosts fill the seats and run the tables — that's the whole job, and this is all of it.
Commit to inviting 3 people
You personally invite three guests to the dinner. Not three invites sent — three people in the seats. Send them yourself, follow up yourself.
Invite the right room
Agrifoodtech founders, executives and ecosystem players only. No investors. This room is operators talking to operators — that's what makes people open up.
Join the co-host WhatsApp group
Guest list, venue logistics and run-of-show all live there. If you're not in the group, you're not in the loop.
Facilitate a small-group discussion
We break the room into groups of 5–6. You lead one. Keep it moving, make sure every person at your table speaks, and hold the no-pitching line.
Open with the FTW intro — Stage 1
Before your group talks, you introduce the FTW global community — the newsletter, the podcast, IC events, the masterminds and the Hub — then make the ask for leaders. Under two minutes.

After the dinner we share every attendee's email and LinkedIn with the whole room. Nobody leaves with a stack of business cards they'll never use.
How to open your table
Two minutes, standing, before the discussion starts. Don't read it off the page — say it like you mean it.
“We're a global community of agrifoodtech founders who are looking to raise, scale and sell their businesses.”
The newsletter
3,000 subscribers. The biggest news in the sector, every week.
The podcast
Interviews with founders and investors who raised or deployed capital in the last 6 months.
IC events
Live and virtual, worldwide. This dinner is one of them.
Masterminds & firesides
Closed-door sessions with leading CEOs around the world.
The Hub
The world's most accurate fundraising database and resource library for agrifoodtech — who's investing, who's raising, and how to reach them.
Everything we do is volunteer-run and grassroots. There is no agency behind this and nobody is getting paid. It exists because operators like the people in this room decided to build it.
We are actively looking for leaders to step into open positions — hosting dinners in their own city, running the podcast, driving the newsletter, building the Hub. If you want to lead in this community globally, come find me tonight.
We share everyone's email and LinkedIn with the full room. Tell your guests that up front — it's the reason people say yes.
No pitching, no selling, no investors working the room. Real conversation between operators, or it doesn't work.
