past dinners
my very first 8w8 dinner, for nyc hopkins alumni in tech
a few founders, a few engineers, and a few operators
lots of kinks, but made it work in the end
cohosted with rayouf, designer & fellow investor at bvp
hosted for women in the nyc startup ecosystem
the coconut cake (while i clearly cannot decorate for the life of me) was the star of the show
cohosted with maha, co-lead of early-stage investing at bvp
hosted for the nyc startup ecosystem
another mix of engineers, founders & operators
maha made an incredible tres leches cake
cohosted with maha
hosted for the nyc startup ecosystem
a few founders, a few engineers, and a few folks hacking on weekends & exploring starting their own companies
my first full-fledged indian menu, many of which are my mothers' recipes
cohosted with maha
hosted deployment strategists, fdes, and anyone deep in enterprise ai transformation
menu was indian fusion this time, and i learned how to make pistachio butter from scratch
turns out you just need roasted unsalted pistachios and patience :)
