Breaking Bread Experience
Membership gives you access to the Breaking Bread community and invitations to our curated experiences. Each Breaking Bread experience brings together meaningful conversations, shared learning and great people around the table, complemented by a thoughtfully curated meal in a premium setting.
We are building a community, not filling seats.
Every prospective member is assessed against the Four I Framework before an invitation is extended:
Influence
Who do they know? What is their network reach?
Insight
Do they add value to conversations? Do they bring perspective, not just presence?
Integrity
Do they fit the culture? Will they uphold trust, discretion, and warmth at the table?
Invitation Power
Will their presence attract others to want a seat at the table?
Applications are reviewed personally by the founder and management team. Approval is at the founder’s discretion. Breaking Bread & Co. is for founders, entrepreneurs and business leaders who are like-minded and like-hearted.
Ready to apply?
The application form asks you who you are, what you’re building, what you’re curious about, and what you hope to find here. It takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. We will review your application and
respond within 5 business days.
A maximum of 10 new memberships are released per month. When the first 50 are confirmed, Founding Member pricing closes permanently.
