About this event

Good conversations are hard to schedule and even harder to replicate. DePIN Founders Dinner is a room built for them: an in-person evening in Singapore where founders, builders, and operators in decentralized physical infrastructure can sit down, share a meal, and talk candidly with peers who understand the category. This is not a conference stage or a crowded mixer where every conversation resets after five minutes. It is a focused founders dinner designed for sharper discussion, stronger connections, and the kind of relationship-building that usually happens after the official program ends. About the Event DePIN Founders Dinner brings together people working at the intersection of crypto, networks, hardware, incentives, and real-world infrastructure. The purpose is simple: create space for high-signal conversations among people actively building in the space, in a format that makes it easy to go deeper than a quick introduction. The dinner setting matters. A shared table changes the pace of interaction. Instead of bouncing between dozens of surface-level chats, attendees can settle into longer discussions about product decisions, network design, go-to-market realities, fundraising context, partnerships, and what it actually takes to build durable DePIN companies. Expect the tone to be social, but purposeful. This is a community-driven gathering for people who value substance, curiosity, and direct conversation. Whether you are early in the build process or already operating in market, the goal is to create a room where the right people can meet in a more natural way. What to Expect The evening is centered around dinner and conversation rather than formal programming. That means the experience is designed to feel relaxed while still being intentional about who is in the room and what kinds of discussion the setting supports. You can expect a flow that looks roughly like this: Arrival and informal introductions to get oriented and meet other attendees Seated dinner conversations with time for real discussion rather than rushed networking Organic topic-sharing around current challenges, opportunities, and lessons from building in DePIN Relationship-building beyond the meal, with the potential for follow-up conversations after the event Because the format is intentionally conversational, the value comes from who is at the table and how openly people engage. Topics will likely range across founder priorities that matter right now: hiring, ecosystem alignment, token and incentive design, deployment strategy, hardware constraints, market education, and the practical realities of operating in an emerging category. This also makes the event useful for people who are tired of over-structured networking. You will have room to ask better questions, compare notes with peers, and spend time with people you would actually want to stay in touch with after the evening ends. Why Attend If you are building in DePIN, the right room can save you months. A single honest conversation with another founder can sharpen a product decision, reframe a distribution challenge, or surface a partnership angle you had not been considering. This dinner is valuable because it creates access to that kind of exchange in a setting that encourages depth. You are not coming to collect business cards. You are coming to talk with people who understand the complexity of building networks tied to physical-world deployment and who can offer perspective grounded in experience. Attending can help you: Meet relevant peers in a focused in-person setting Pressure-test ideas through direct conversation with other builders Share challenges candidly in a smaller, more relationship-oriented format Strengthen your network within the DePIN and broader crypto ecosystem Create momentum for future collaborations, introductions, or follow-up meetings There is also value in simply getting off the event circuit treadmill and into a better format. Good dinners create trust faster than most networking sessions do. For founders and operators working in a category as interdisciplinary as DePIN, that trust is often what turns an interesting conversation into something useful. Practical Details Location: This is an in-person event in Singapore, Singapore. The exact venue details will be shared through the event page or registration flow.

Since the evening is built around dinner, arriving on time will help you settle in, meet the group early, and get the most out of the conversation from the start. A few things to keep in mind: This is a social, community, and networking-focused gathering The format is best suited to people who want real conversation, not just quick introductions You should come ready to participate, listen, and share thoughtfully In-person dinners work best when attendees are intentional about the room they help create If you work in DePIN and want a more useful way to meet other founders and builders in Singapore, this is a strong room to be in. Come for dinner, stay for the conversations that are hard to have anywhere else.
