About this event
Serious ideas often move forward in small rooms, not on crowded stages. This private dinner in Lisbon brings together the people shaping DeAI, DePIN, and DeSCI from different angles, so conversations can go deeper than quick introductions and surface-level networking. If you are an angel, LP, builder, or researcher working close to these ecosystems, this is a chance to sit with peers who understand the technical, financial, and scientific stakes. The format is simple on purpose: good food, a focused group, and the kind of discussion that can lead to real collaboration. About the Event This is an in-person private dinner designed for a curated mix of investors, operators, technical founders, and researchers interested in the intersection of decentralized AI, decentralized physical infrastructure networks, and decentralized science. Rather than treating these as separate verticals, the evening creates space to explore where they overlap and where new opportunities are emerging. The dinner format matters. A seated, social setting changes the quality of conversation: people have time to explain what they are building, what they are funding, what they are researching, and what they are actively looking for next. That makes it especially valuable for attendees who prefer thoughtful discussion over high-volume networking. Expect a room where capital, technical execution, and research perspectives all have a place. Angels and LPs can hear directly from builders and researchers. Builders can test ideas with people who understand market timing, infrastructure constraints, and long-horizon opportunities. Researchers can connect their work to real deployment pathways and practical partnerships. Because the gathering is private, the focus is less on broadcasting and more on signal. The goal is to create an environment where people can speak candidly, compare notes, and identify high-conviction connections across adjacent sectors. What to Expect The evening begins at 6:15 PM on Thursday, June 5 in Lisbon, Portugal. From there, the experience is expected to unfold as a relaxed but intentional dinner gathering, with time for both informal introductions and deeper table conversation. You can expect a mix of activities such as: Arrival and initial mingling with a targeted group of attendees Dinner-table introductions that quickly establish who is in the room and what each person is focused on Cross-sector discussion around DeAI, DePIN, and DeSCI trends, challenges, and open questions Organic networking throughout the meal, with room for follow-up conversations between investors, builders, and researchers This is not a conference track or a pitch stage. It is better suited to people who want context, nuance, and honest exchange. The dinner setting allows conversations to move naturally between big-picture themes and practical questions: what infrastructure is missing, where research can become product, how funding decisions are being made, and which collaborations are most likely to matter over the next year. You should also expect a social atmosphere with a professional edge. People are there to meet others, but they are also there with purpose. The strongest outcomes will likely come from the quality of the room and the time to engage without the usual event noise. Why Attend If you work in or around these sectors, the biggest value is proximity to relevant people who do not usually end up in the same conversation for long enough. DeAI, DePIN, and DeSCI each have their own communities, but some of the most interesting opportunities now sit between them. This dinner is built for that overlap. For investors, the dinner offers a more grounded way to assess talent, conviction, and emerging themes than a rushed intro ever could. You get to hear how builders think, what researchers are seeing, and where the most credible opportunities may be forming before they become obvious to everyone else. For builders, it is a chance to meet aligned capital and intellectual collaborators in one setting. You may leave with sharper language for your thesis, better feedback on market positioning, or introductions that accelerate hiring, fundraising, or product direction. For researchers, the event can open a practical channel into implementation, funding, and partnerships. If your work touches infrastructure, coordination, data, incentives, or AI systems, this is a useful room for understanding how ideas become networks, products, and organizations. More broadly, attending helps you strengthen your map of the space. You will come away with a clearer view of who is building seriously, what topics are attracting real attention, and where the next useful conversations should happen. Practical Details The event is in person in Lisbon, Portugal, making it a strong fit for people already in the city or planning to be there that week. As a private dinner, the venue type is intentionally intimate rather than conference-style, so expect a setting that supports conversation over presentation. Start time is Thursday, June 5 at 6:15 PM GMT+1. Since this is a dinner gathering, it is worth arriving on time so you can meet people before table conversations settle in and make the most of the full evening. A few useful expectations to keep in mind: This is a social, networking-led format centered around dinner The room is oriented toward angels, LPs, builders, and researchers The event is best approached with a clear sense of what you are working on, funding, or exploring Bring curiosity and specificity; the strongest conversations will come from concrete questions and real experience If you are looking for a smaller, higher-signal environment in Lisbon to meet people across DeAI, DePIN, and DeSCI, this dinner is designed for exactly that.
Who should attend
This is for people who want substantive conversation at the intersection of capital, infrastructure, science, and emerging decentralized systems. - You are an **angel investor** looking to meet serious builders and researchers early, hear how they think, and get a clearer read on where conviction is forming across DeAI, DePIN, and DeSCI. - You are an **LP or ecosystem allocator** who wants better context on these sectors through direct conversation rather than polished public narratives. - You are a **founder or builder** working on products, protocols, tools, or infrastructure related to decentralized AI, physical networks, or science coordination, and you want high-quality feedback and relevant introductions. - You are a **researcher** whose work connects to AI systems, infrastructure, incentives, coordination, data, or scientific collaboration, and you want to explore real-world applications and aligned partners. - You are someone who values **small-group, high-signal networking** over crowded event formats and would rather spend an evening in thoughtful discussion than collecting superficial contacts. - You are already engaged with these fields and can contribute something concrete, whether that is insight, capital, technical perspective, research depth, or collaboration potential.
