By invitation only · Austin, Texas
An invite-only evening series for investors, family offices, and the founders and operators they back. No badges, no panels, no pitch decks. Just the right people, in the right room.
Every guest is personally invited by the hosts. The result is a room built for the conversations that lead somewhere: new partnerships, fresh perspectives, and relationships that last.
Quality over quantity. Every name is read before an invitation goes out.
Premium appetizers and craft cocktails. Designed for connection, not courses.
Host-led introductions that move business forward.
Approval-gated. The address is shared privately with confirmed guests.
A short introduction to some of the investors, family office principals, founders, and operators you will find at Off The Grid. The evening itself is best seen in person.
Off The Grid goes monthly in 2027, alternating between the larger evening you already know and a smaller, invitation-only dinner. Each offers something different, and both belong to the same community.
Premium appetizers and craft cocktails. No badges, no panels, no pitch decks. Approval-gated through this site, every name read, address shared privately.
Where the community comes together.
One table, often built around a theme or topic, with food and drink throughout and phones down. Pitch-free by design. By invitation only, extended personally by the hosts. Photos only with guest consent.
Where conversations go deeper.
Off The Grid is where the community comes together. The Texas Capital Table is where a smaller group goes deeper.
Twenty-five guests around one table, often centered on a theme or topic. No pitches and no presentations, just real conversation among people who want to know each other better. If two guests want to talk about investing, we connect them after the dinner.
Dates are announced to the community first. Themes are shown in planned order, with the final lineup confirmed six weeks ahead of each evening.
Drawn from a community of more than 250 regular attendees, all based and active in Austin and Texas.
Active angels, venture capitalists, and micro-VC managers.
Principals and decision-makers managing significant private wealth.
Founders with exits or scaling ventures, and executives who have built and scaled companies.
PE partners, real estate investors, and hedge fund managers putting capital to work in Austin.
The hosts make the introductions themselves, so every guest leaves knowing the people most relevant to them.
