Thunderview CEO Dinners brings Colorado-based CEOs together.
Next Dinner: 6p - 9p, Thursday, May 02, 2024 @ The Mercury Cafe
“Startup CEO” is one of the greatest jobs out there. You have the opportunity to make an impact, you face new challenges on a daily basis, you get to test your vision of the world, for real money, in the market.
It’s also one of the loneliest jobs to have. There’s a mountain of stress that you can’t share with your employees, board or significant other. Even if you have co-founders, sometimes you just need to move out your bubble and get an unbiased point of view.
THUNDERVIEW CEO DINNERS is a monthly dinner founded to introduce a diverse set of CEOs (across backgrounds, stages and markets) to one another to share their experiences and receive outside perspectives.
Each dinner is capped at 50 participants — a mix of early-stage, scaling, exited and bootstrapping CEOs, plus a few VCs to provide capital’s point of view, with a strong focus on representation for traditionally underrepresented founders. We help each other, celebrate wins and work together to solve hard problems.

THUNDERVIEW CEO DINNERS is hosted on the first Thursday each month at the historic MERCURY CAFE in Denver, CO. This beautiful venue — home since 1975 to poets, punks, rebels, and artists from all walks of life — is the ideal space to bring together the full breadth of Colorado’s startup and small-business CEOs.
We help, we celebrate and we work together to solve hard problems.
We value CEOs from diverse backgrounds and helpful members of the community.
In practice this means the following:
Priority invites go to historically underrepresented CEOs. We backfill with traditionally represented CEOs.
Once you’ve attended, we ask that you do two things to secure an invite to a future dinner — help someone with an Ask and refer a new CEO to the group.
