Founders Roundtable Club × Goodnotes Summer Soiree — Candid Founders, Real Revenue, No Panels (Invite Only)

Founders RTC is throwing a summer soiree — and our hosts are one of the very few Hong Kong-born companies to build a top-tier global consumer software product: routinely topping App Store charts across Western and Asian markets, 24M+ monthly active users worldwide (also winner of both Apple’s iPad App of the Year and Google’s Best of Large Screen awards) — and their founder, Steven Chan, is joining us for the night.

A chill evening with talented, grinding, determined founders. If you've put in the years (past PMF, real clients, real revenue, US$1M+ ARR) and you're free on 30 July, this one's an easy yes — and it's on us, haha.

Happy hour into a private-chef dinner into a live band and karaoke. Casual, but lightly moderated with themed tables— so you leave with real takeaways for your business, not just a good time.

The night

6:00–7:30 PM — Happy hour + AMA with Steven Chan (Founder & CEO, GoodNotes). Drink in hand, bring one thing you're wrestling with; leave with a real playbook.

7:30 PM — Private-chef dinner, themed tables. Three threads — GTM, Hiring & Culture, AI & Workflows. One rotation, so you catch more than one.

9:00 PM–late — Live band + karaoke. Celebrate the wins, laugh about the scars, toast to what's next.

Who this is for

Founders past PMF, at >USD1m annual revenue or equivalent run-rate.

Deep in repeatable GTM, senior hiring, culture at scale, pricing & unit economics, AI in real workflows.

Still validating or pre-revenue? This one won't serve you — ping us for our early-stage sessions.

The vibe

Zero panels, zero fluff — just founder-to-founder candor.

Chatham House spirit, so you can share the numbers and the mess.

Small by design — you'll actually meet everyone.

A note on signing up

Spaces are limited and invite only. Only RSVP if you can truly make it. We know founder life moves fast; if something shifts, tell us early so we can pass your seat to another founder.
