Primordial’s Winter Founder Lunch

This week, we got to do one of our favorite things at Primordial: bring our founders together for our Winter Founder Lunch. Founder lunches are quarterly events designed to bring everyone in the same room at the same time to share ideas, hang out, and continue building community across the Primordial portfolio!

This quarter, instead of gathering at our office, we headed to Luna in downtown Durham. With the chilly weather (and even a bit of snow from the weekend!) rolling through, we were especially grateful that we were still able to enjoy lunch in person together.

As always, the lunch sparked a few fun side discussions and plenty of laughs, but also the honest founder-to-founder conversations that can only happen when you get people in the same room. We’re big believers that startups don’t succeed in a vacuum. The strongest companies come out of communities where founders can support each other, share what they’re learning, and feel a little less alone in the process.

Founder Lunch is just one part of the community infrastructure we’re building at Primordial, alongside quarterly Investor Meet & Greets, monthly strategy meetings, and our Startup Mentor Program — designed to help founders stay connected, accountable, and resourced. If you’re an investor interested in supporting early-stage founders through both capital and community, or a founder building something ambitious — we’d love to connect.

Onward!
