About
Where Buyers
Meet Builders
Curated experiences that connect senior enterprise leaders with the founders shaping what's next. No noise. No sales pitches. Just the conversations that matter.
We're not building the biggest events.
We're building the right ones.
Every person in the room is there because they should be. Buyers come to learn, not to be sold to. Builders come to share ideas, not to pitch.
Our gatherings are free for corporate leaders. We partner with technology companies who believe in education over promotion—funding experiences that create genuine value for everyone involved.
What We Do
Buyers x Builders is about being in the room — with the people who are building the future of enterprise and the leaders who will adopt it. Whether that room holds 100 people, 20 people, or lives in your inbox every week.
Gatherings
Full-day events where senior enterprise leaders meet the founders building what's next. No booths, no badge scanning — just meaningful conversations.
→ NYC: April 15 · London: April 23
The Shift
A 6-city European roundtable series with Zip. 16–20 senior procurement leaders per city, building the operating model for 2030. Chatham House Rules. By Barcelona, the room will have co-authored The Shift Playbook.

Dispatch
Dispatches from the frontier of enterprise AI. Deep-dive founder features, video interviews, and weekly roundups — hosted by Dave Ambrose. Most procurement content is buyers talking to buyers. This is the builders talking.

Dinner, Drinks & Padel
Informal evenings that bring buyers and builders together outside the boardroom. Great conversation, no agenda.
