Who is this for?

For senior dev leaders who want honest peer-to-peer conversations.

For senior dev leaders who want honest peer-to-peer conversations.

You’re a Head of Engineering, VP, Director, or CTO.
Maybe you lead Platform, QA, or Engineering Ops. The title really doesn’t matter.

What matters is: you’re leading teams, juggling delivery, people, and growth.
And you value talking to someone who's actually in your shoes.

Why it exists

Why it exists

No one understands your challenges like another dev lead

No one understands your challenges like another dev lead

We started the Dev Leaders Lunch Club because the best professional conversations rarely happen at meetups or in slack communities.
They happen 1:1 between peers who live the same reality.


As leaders, we’re busy all the time. So rarely, we find time for networking. Especially with peers outside our close circle.

But we still need to eat. That's why we thought: There might be a sweet spot. One meaningful conversation a month. With another dev leader. Over lunch.
