Benchmark Part II: The Dinner
Acquired
The Dinner Tradition at Benchmark
Benchmark introduced a dinner tradition inspired by Ben Franklin's practice of deep discussions on various topics. The firm initially experimented with a few dinners and eventually held a big dinner with partners and outside guests, which was a transformative experience. This led to the creation of a habit that nurtured curiosity, essential for the firm's success. The Monday office discussions were limited, so the open-ended, agenda-less dinners provided a dynamic range for wild explorations of diverse topics. The dinner tradition honored the purpose of the firm to constantly learn and activate curiosity, fostering collective effervescence that couldn't be achieved in one-on-one dinners.
