Long Slow Dinner- Bengaluru

We brought the Long Slow Dinner edition to Bengaluru — a city known for endless conversations, curiosity, events and conferences.

Eight climate founders came together, not to present or perform, but to be grounded in honest, candid conversation. No agendas or decks. Just founders speaking their minds — about building teams, navigating fundraising, business development challenges, and the quiet struggles that come with carrying big problems.

What stood out was the recognition in the room. Different sectors, different stages — yet the same questions and trade-offs showing up in different forms. The reassurance of realising you’re not the only one carrying these thoughts.

Long Slow Dinners exist to create space for this kind of connection: unhurried, judgment-free, and grounded in shared experience. Moments where founders realise they’re not alone — and that others in the room are navigating similar paths, just in different contexts.

These are the conversations that build trust, community, and the confidence to keep going — together.
