Linkeat

Linkeat is my anti-networking event. Because I'd had enough of startup drinks with 50 people where everyone collects business cards and never remembers who's who. Enough of the entrepreneurial bullshit, the shallow three-minute conversations, quantity raised to a dogma. I created Linkeat on a simple conviction: real connections are made around a table, through deep conversations, not in a rush with a slice of pizza in hand.

The concept? Matched dinners for entrepreneurs and freelancers looking for real conversations. 6 to 8 people at most, selected for the quality of their background and their open-mindedness, not for their number of LinkedIn followers. We eat well, we talk honestly, we dig deep. No sales pitch every five minutes, no timed speed networking. Just interesting people sharing their challenges, their failures, their thinking. The kind of evening where you leave with two or three contacts who really matter, rather than 30 profiles you'll have forgotten by tomorrow.

I'm happy to be at the dinners myself, alongside my partner Adam Davidovic, co-founder of Linkeat.

Because Linkeat is also a social laboratory for me. I watch the group dynamics, I test formats, I refine the curation. Every dinner teaches me something about how people really connect, beyond professional façades. And incidentally, it feeds my understanding of human systems, the same fascination that fuels my writing and the way I approach the products I work on.

Currently in an active promotion phase, I'm building visibility on LinkedIn (because the right people do need to find us) while keeping the founding spirit: depth over growth at all costs. Linkeat will never be a networking giant. That's deliberate. Because the real value lies in the intimacy of the format, not in scale.
