Join a select group of Chief Legal Officers and General Counsels from late-stage, pre-IPO companies for an invitation-only evening of candid peer exchange in New York.
Hosted at Claudette, a refined French-Mediterranean restaurant in the heart of Greenwich Village, the evening pairs thoughtful peer conversation with an elegant, intimate setting and a hosted multi-course dinner.
This Late Stage GC Innovation Dinner will focus on "Before the IPO: Operating as a Public Company in Wait", the practical work of building public-company discipline before the S-1 clock starts.
The conversation will explore:
• Which public-company disciplines to build now, before the S-1 process formally begins
• How to prepare the board and cross-functional partners for life under SEC and investor scrutiny
• How peers have sequenced IPO readiness, including what they would do differently the second time around
Expect candid perspectives from legal leaders navigating the same transition, with space to compare approaches, pressure-test assumptions, and share what actually works before the public markets come into view.

TechGC is a private, invitation-only community for General Counsel, Chief Legal Officers, and Heads of Legal at high-growth tech companies—from venture-backed startups to public tech companies and venture capital firms. Founded to solve a simple problem—that no one teaches you how to be a GC at a scaling company—TechGC was built by GCs, for GCs. What started as a small group of startup GCs sharing advice has grown into the leading network for legal leaders in technology.

TechGC is part of The L Suite, a broader community for in-house legal executives across industries. Within The L Suite, there are also dedicated communities for General Counsel of large enterprises (EnterpriseGC), as well as highly curated experiences for DeputyGCs, senior in-house counsel, and legal operations leaders.
