Dubai 🇦🇪

Tuesday nights used to be a write-off. Now they're our highest bar tab of the week, and we're on every founder's mental map of where to drink in the city.

Omar Al Hosani

Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪

Founder Connects fills our dining room on nights that used to be quiet. The crowd orders well, comes back with their teams, and books us for private dinners. Easiest partnership we've signed.

Doha 🇶🇦

We've hosted four meetups in two months. Every event sells out, the crowd is on-brand, and we've already booked two follow-up corporate events from attendees in the room.

Faisal Al Otaibi

Riyadh 🇸🇦

The Founder Connects crowd is the right kind of busy. Quality covers, full bar, and our space gets tagged across founder channels every single event. Worth every Tuesday.
