It’s Time to Eat
FYSK founder dinners are back on the table
🍽️ Apply here to indicate your interest in the FYSK dinners — come dine with us this summer.
Hungry to meet founders and can’t wait until the next showcase in September? Join FYSK and other jobseekers for an intimate dinner with six of our favorite founders. We chose these founders because their companies have incredible momentum: Over 130% YoY revenue growth, hundreds of millions in government support, backed by a16z, Sequoia, Founders Fund, and Nat Friedman – yet they’re still early enough for new hires to shape the direction of the company. Each founder is actively hiring and looking to connect with candidates from the FYSK community!
These dinners are intentionally small. They’re an exclusive opportunity to speak directly with the founder, a few early team members, and ~10-15 other engineers also interested in attending. You’ll have a chance to personally feel out company culture, understand the technical problems the team is working on, and maybe even make a new friend.
Here’s what attendees from our most recent dinner series had to say:
This Summer’s Menu
These teams are growing quickly. Now is your chance to join and have real ownership and an outsized impact.
Tara Viswanathan, Co-Founder of Unlimited
📅 July 16 | San Francisco
Unlimited is an AI-native engineering and construction company that leverages software and artificial intelligence to improve how factories, data centers, energy infrastructure, and other critical projects are designed and built. Tara and the team’s vision is to transform the delivery of large-scale infrastructure by combining AI, software, and engineering expertise.
Unlimited recently raised a $12 million seed round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and CIV and is already delivering measurable results on industrial projects, reducing pre-construction engineering timelines from six months to a few weeks and identifying design optimizations that cut costs by over 50%.
Pari Singh, Founder & CEO of Flow Engineering
📅 July 21 | San Francisco
Pari is building Flow Engineering to accelerate the development of the world’s most important physical technologies. Flow helps engineering teams design, test, verify, and iterate on complex hardware systems dramatically faster, enabling companies building rockets, autonomous systems, energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing products to operate with software-like speed. The cost of software creation collapsed once AI could write code, and Flow’s bet is hardware engineering will undergo a similar transition.
Flow’s software is already deployed in many of the top next-gen hardware companies. Rivian evaluated 30 different tools and ultimately chose Flow. They started using Flow with only 40 users and grew to 1,500 in four months.
Parth Bhakta, Founder & CEO of Healthier
📅 July 23 | San Francisco
Parth is building Healthier, a trusted AI reasoning platform for high-stakes medicine, beginning with oncology. The company’s technology synthesizes fragmented medical records, imaging, genomics, clinical guidelines, research literature, and trial protocols into source-grounded recommendations that both patients and clinicians can understand and evaluate. Healthier’s products span patient-facing care navigation, AI-powered clinical decision support, and tumor board workflows designed to help providers make more informed decisions in complex cases.
We’re excited by the team and their early commercial traction. The team consists of advisors and operators from Stanford, UCSF, Mass General, Dana-Farber, UPenn, and Foundation Medicine. They recently hired a Chief Medical Officer who previously worked at OpenEvidence and City of Hope. It’s still early, but they already have pilots and partnerships with major oncology networks and institutions and several top cancer centers. The company recently closed a seed round led by a16z.
Rune Kvist, Co-Founder of AIUC
📅 July 30 | San Francisco
Rune is building AIUC, a company creating the trust infrastructure for AI. As enterprises deploy increasingly capable AI systems and autonomous agents, AIUC is developing standards, certification frameworks, and insurance products designed to help organizations evaluate and manage AI-related risk. The company is pioneering a new category of infrastructure intended to make advanced AI deployment safer, more transparent, and more accountable.
AIUC combines a strong founding team (experience spanning Anthropic, McKinsey, METR) with exceptional early traction. The company already launched the AIUC-1 standard, raised a $15M seed round, and is working with some of the most prominent AI companies in the world to define how enterprises certify, insure, and adopt AI agents.
Adam Guild, Co-Founder & CEO of Owner
📅 Date: tba | San Francisco
Adam founded Owner after helping save his mother’s small business and realizing how difficult it had become for independent businesses to compete online. Owner helps restaurants grow direct revenue, strengthen customer relationships, and compete against large chains using AI-powered tools and software infrastructure. What began as a mission to empower local business owners has evolved into a platform serving independent restaurants across the country.
Owner now serves more than 10,000 restaurants across the United States and recently raised a $120 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation.
Scott Nolan, Founder & CEO of General Matter
📅 Date: tba | Los Angeles
Scott founded General Matter to rebuild America’s domestic nuclear fuel capabilities. The company is focused on uranium enrichment and advanced nuclear fuel production, addressing one of the most critical bottlenecks facing the future of nuclear energy. As countries race to deploy next-generation reactors and strengthen energy security, General Matter is working to ensure the United States has the industrial capacity necessary to support a new era of nuclear power.
General Matter secured a $900 million Department of Energy award to help rebuild domestic HALEU enrichment capacity, and they recently raised a $50 million round led by Founders Fund, with Peter Thiel joining the board.
