Most networking events aren’t built for you.

You’ve led teams, launched products, made tough decisions. But most events still feel loud, crowded, and surface-level.

SameKind is different.
Just 6 peers at one table, talking honestly about work, life, and what’s really going on.

No panels. No pitches. Just real conversations and good food.

What Professionals Are Saying

What Professionals Are Saying

“I came in feeling drained and unsure where my career was heading. I left with clarity and a roadmap I didn’t even know I needed.”

Priya, Lead Product Manager at Grab

“I’m usually the one people come to for advice. That night, I got to receive. That changed everything.”

Jun Wei, Principal Product Designer

“Wasn’t sure if I needed this. I realized I’d been bottling up a lot. SameKind gave me space to just talk — no judgment, no pressure.”


Alyssa, Head of Product

“Way better than yet another ‘coffee chat.’ One table. Six seniors. Deep honesty. I’d pay triple.”

Faizal, Senior Growth Marketer

Who This Is For

Who This Is For

Who This Is For

This is for senior and lead designers who:

  • Are making tough calls daily — and want a space to unpack them

  • Crave deeper conversations beyond design trends and tools

  • Want clarity, perspective, and connection — without the fluff

Not for junior designers. Not for job seekers. Not for coaching.
