On Wednesday, November 15, 2023, Astronomic held our monthly Regulus dinner club for SaaS leaders with 30 SaaS founders, executives, and investors. “Regulus” is the name of a star in the Leo constellation meaning “Heart of the Lion”, rebranded and is now called “Galaxy”.

The dinner was held at a beautiful house in Westminster Glen that is for sale by our real estate sponsor, Leslie Gossett, of Kuper Sotheby’s.

Our moderator, John Hartigan (CEO at Domain-U) interviewed our featured guest, Tom Kieley (founder/CEO at SourceDay) in a fireside chat format. Tom inspired us with his thoughts on the importance of community and perseverance. After Q&A, we enjoyed a delicious meal courtesy of our chef, Ashlie Sarna.
