At SavorWe, we believe great conversations start with great food. That belief came to life at a recent 12-person founder roundtable hosted by Taft Chicago and Silicon Valley Bank, where our role was simple: create an environment so thoughtful and seamless, guests could focus entirely on connection.

The Ask:
Bring together local startup leaders for a dinner that didn’t feel like a panel, a pitch, or a networking trap. The goal was intimacy, warmth, and flow, something that felt high-touch but never high-pressure.

Our Approach:
Set in Taft’s downtown Chicago space, we designed a four-course culinary experience that matched the tone of the evening: elevated yet relaxed. Every detail—from the pacing of courses to the acoustics of the room—was curated to encourage meaningful dialogue.
We handled the entire execution—from custom menu development to setup, service, and teardown—so that our hosts could stay fully present with their guests.

“SavorWe made it seamless. The dinner created the perfect environment for founders to connect in a thoughtful, intimate way. The food, the flow, the atmosphere—it all felt intentional and effortless.”

The Result:
A night where conversation didn’t feel forced. Where founders felt seen. And where food did what it does best: bring people together.
