Growth Dinners Partners with Lighthouse Network to Expand Founder Support

Growth Dinners, the exclusive invitation-only series for high-growth founders and operators, announced Lighthouse Network as its inaugural Community Partner. This strategic collaboration launches a program to expand access to highly curated peer support dinners across Richmond and into new markets. Lighthouse Network, known for empowering over 78 founders and facilitating over $111 million in capital raised across the Mid-Atlantic, brings substantial credibility and a robust network to this initiative.

The Community Partner program will foster deeper connections by leveraging each partner's unique reach. Growth Dinners is known for its intimate, small-table format, limiting each event to twelve carefully vetted founders and operators. Eligibility includes $1M+ annual revenue, a $2M+ raise, or a $5M–$10M prior exit. Vernon T. Foster II, CEO & Founder of Growth Dinners, emphasizes, "The conversations that truly move the needle happen at small tables, with peers who understand the journey. This partnership ensures vital connections reach founders who need them most."

Attendees arrive with critical challenges and leave with invaluable peer wisdom, strategic introductions, and often, breakthrough solutions. Lighthouse Network complements this model with its human-centered approach, offering capital access, leadership development, and a deep peer community. They will co-present an upcoming Richmond dinner, connecting founders with essential relationships to build and scale. Interested founders can learn more at growthdinners.com or lighthousenetwork.co.
