The Circle is an invite-only community of founders, operators, and investors, hosted by WithCoverage. We bring together small groups of leaders throughout the year for curated dinners at top restaurants across the U.S. There’s no membership fee or formal commitment - just the opportunity to join future gatherings and connect with peers you’d value most. In addition to the core community, we host both focused groups (e.g., consumer, hospitality, tech, investor) and broader gatherings - like AI in Practice - to bring together leaders navigating shared themes across industries.
