New York, United States, June 18th, 2026, Chainwire
Stratosphere, Pudgy Penguins and Streamex hosted a private Founders Table VIP Dinner in New York City during ETHConf 2026 and NYC Tech Week, bringing together leaders across digital assets, tech, AI, traditional finance and institutional capital.
The invite-only dinner took place on June 9th and gathered a curated room of founders, operators, funds, C-level executives and institutional leaders for an intimate evening of dinner and conversation.
Guests in attendance included leaders from Citi, BitMine, BitGo, Mirae Asset Securities USA, Experian, Pyth Network, Space and Time, MegaETH, B3, Stable, Antler, Delphi Digital, Fun, Linera, Vanta Trading, Streamex, PolyData, Horizen Labs, World Foundation, Zipcode, OpenLedger, Onyx, Definitive, Notalone Ventures and more.
The Founders Table format is intentionally simple: a selected guest list, a private room and no stage agenda. The goal is to bring the right people together in a setting where conversations can happen naturally.
The dinner was hosted by Stratosphere with Pudgy Penguins and Streamex. Stratosphere brought its network across founders, operators, investors and institutional teams. Pudgy Penguins added one of the strongest consumer brands and communities in digital assets. Streamex brought the institutional and real-world asset side of the conversation, with its focus on tokenized gold and commodity markets.
The Stratosphere team and its CEO, Hassan Shaikh, have continued to build Founders Table into a private dinner series around major industry conferences. After previous editions during Digital Asset Summit and Consensus, the New York dinner continued the same idea: high-quality rooms, selected attendance and conversations that are hard to recreate on a conference floor.
For Stratosphere, the dinner reinforces the company’s position as an ecosystem partner for leading brands across tech, finance and digital assets. Established projects work with Stratosphere to deepen cultural relevance, strengthen market narratives and connect with founders, investors, institutions and operators across the industry.
“I’m optimistic about the next phase of digital assets, especially around the tokenization of commodities,” said Hassan Shaikh, CEO of Stratosphere. “These dinners give us a way to bring funds, institutions, and founders into the same room to talk about where the market is heading.”
The Founders Table series is expected to continue around major global conferences throughout the year, with future editions focused on bringing together founders, capital, institutions and leading brands in private, relationship-driven rooms.
