One long table, one question, three hours, and a rule that nothing leaves the room with your name on it. SOUTHSTART has run dinners like this for a decade, and Edition 03 opens with "human friction in the age of AI": when so much can be done without us, what is still worth doing together. Founders, investors and operators, a two course meal, and the kind of argument you only get with people close enough to touch. Venue is emailed to attendees a few days before. Fifty seats' worth of conversation beats a room of 500 badges.
