Selective by Design

The best ideas are born over a meal.

For years, Imtinan has had a habit — he takes people out. Not because it's scheduled or strategic, but because he's genuinely curious: what are you building, what are you struggling with, what have you figured out that most people haven't?

Some of his most important relationships and collaborations started across a table with a stranger. He decided to make that a practice — and open it to the community.

Every week, one person is selected. Lunch or dinner, his treat. No pitch decks, no agendas, no networking theatre. Not every submission leads to an invitation — but the ones that do have a tendency to become the beginning of something that outlasts the meal.

"I've learned more from one honest conversation over food than from months of reading. The table is where walls come down."
