Most networking events aren’t built for you.

You’ve led teams, shipped major releases, made the hard calls.
But most events? Too noisy. Too shallow. Too much small talk.

SameKind is different.

Six senior product leaders at one table.
Real talk about leadership, burnout, team dynamics, career decisions, and what’s really going on.

“It’s hard to find people who really get the day-to-day of this work. At that dinner, I did. One of them is now a friend I check in with almost every week.”

Priya, Lead Product Design Manager

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

Jun Wei, Principal Designer Manager

“SameKind reminded me I’m not alone. I met another designer who’s now my go-to sounding board, we message almost weekly. The dinner helped me rethink a feature rollout I’d been wrestling with for weeks”


Alyssa, Head of Product

“Way better than yet another ‘coffee chat.’ It felt like therapy, but with people who actually get the job. I’d pay triple.”

Faizal, Brand Creative Lead
