Bond Dinner #8 - NYC

​Hi, Kylin here.

​Niko (General Catalyst), Sumeet (Worldbuild), and I are bringing together 30 privately-invited founders, C-level executives, and investors for an intimate dinner.

​This edition is consumer-themed. Senior executives from Peloton, Headway, and UnitedHealthcare will join us to share insights on the newest consumer trends.

​We will meet, share, and build genuine relationships with each other in the midst of this hustle-and-bustle city.

​Cohosts:

​Niko Bonatsos is a Managing Director at General Catalyst, where he’s led investments in iconic consumer companies like Snapchat. Known for spotting generational shifts early, Niko backs ambitious founders building bold, culture-defining products at the intersection of technology and everyday life.

Over the course of his career, he's backed companies including Brigit (recently acquired for $500M), Revolut (recently valued at $45B), The Rounds, and more.
