For CEOs & Fund Managers
Meet 30 Investors.
One Evening.
We identify 1,000–2,000 investors who match your exact deal — by industry, check size, and investment stage. We contact them personally, screen every interested party, and only invite those who are a genuine fit for your raise. You show up to a room of 20–30 people who already want to be there.
$15,000
Fixed fee. No commissions. No hidden costs.
We are not a broker-dealer. We never take commissions on your raise or fees from investor allocations. One flat fee. Full service.
What You Get
More Than Capital.
A Room Full of Allies.
Direct Investor Introductions
Meet 20–30 vetted family offices, angels, and LPs in a single evening. The following morning, we send personal email introductions between you and every attendee.
Professional Photos & Video
Walk away with professional event photography and video of you presenting in a mansion to a room full of investors — elite content for your LinkedIn, Instagram, and investor materials.
Real Pitch Feedback
45 minutes of live Q&A from sophisticated investors who will tell you exactly what they think. There is no better pitch practice than a room full of people with real money.
Advisors & Mentors
Many of our investors are former operators, executives, and founders. If you're open to it, a single dinner can yield multiple board advisors and mentors.
Channel Partners & Customers
We curate investors by industry relevance. The people in the room often become customers, distribution partners, or strategic introducers — not just check writers.
Market Intelligence
A room of experienced investors asking hard questions is the best market research you'll ever do. You'll leave knowing exactly what the smart money thinks of your thesis.
"I raised $2.4M from that one evening. The ROI on $15,000 is hard to argue with."

How It Works
From Discovery Call
to Dinner in 30 Days
Discovery Call with Brendan
Our CRO walks you through the format, pricing, and fit. If we believe we can deliver the right investors for your deal, we move forward.
Choose City, Date & Investor Persona
You tell us where you want the dinner, when, and the profile of investors you need. We handle everything else.
We Research & Outreach
Our 15-person team identifies 1,000–2,000 investors who match your specific industry, check size, and deal stage — using LinkedIn, PitchBook, and proprietary databases. We only invite those who are a genuine fit for your raise.
You Approve the Guest List
As investors express interest, we add them to a leads list. You review and approve each one before they receive a formal invitation.
We Handle All Logistics
Venue, chef, bartender, valet, host, photography — our team manages every operational detail so you can focus on your pitch.
The Dinner & Follow-Up
You present, network, and build relationships. The next morning, we send 1:1 email introductions and post event content to social media.
Full Service
Everything Handled.
You Just Show Up.
Our 15-person team manages every detail of the event — from sourcing the venue and hiring the chef to conducting investor outreach and managing the guest list. Your only job is to prepare your pitch and show up ready to connect.
We are not a broker-dealer. We make no representations about your raise. Our job is to put you in the same room as the right people — what happens next is up to you.

Why a Dinner?
A Dinner Table Beats
Every Conference
Conferences are designed for sponsors. Investor Dinners are designed for you. Here's what the difference looks like in practice.
| Investor Dinner | Industry Conference | |
|---|---|---|
| Room Size | 12–18 vetted investors, curated for your deal | 500+ attendees, most irrelevant to your thesis |
| Investor Quality | Every guest is pre-screened for accreditation, check size, and asset class fit | Mix of tire-kickers, vendors, and students alongside real investors |
| Your Time on Stage | 45-minute fireside chat + full dinner conversation with every guest | 8-minute pitch slot, then you're forgotten |
| Follow-Up | Personal email introductions to every attendee the next morning | You collect business cards and follow up cold |
| Content You Walk Away With | Professional photos, video recap, LinkedIn post, and full Lead List | A lanyard and a tote bag |
| Cost Per Warm Introduction | $500–$1,250 per investor introduction (based on 12–30 attendees) | $3,000–$8,000 all-in for 2–3 real conversations |

Two Formats, One Network
What's the Difference Between
Investor Dinners and Fireside Dinners?
Investor Dinners
You're the Host
You pay Astronomic to produce a private dinner where you are the featured presenter. We source and invite the investors. You pitch your deal, answer questions, and walk away with a full Lead List of every attendee.
- You are the featured capital raiser
- Investors attend free — you pay the production cost
- Full Lead List delivered the next morning
- Starts at $15,000 per event
Fireside Dinners
A Headliner Anchors the Room
Fireside Dinners are executive-level events anchored by a notable headliner — a recognized founder, investor, or public figure. Attendees pay to be in the room. The headliner is the draw, not the host.
- A notable headliner anchors the evening
- Attendees pay to attend (not the headliner)
- Curated for executive-level networking
- Separate product — different pricing model
