The idea

The most important conversations in tech don't happen on stages or in Slack threads. They happen at tables, in corners, after the thing officially ends.

Analog Moat was built to create more of those moments intentionally — structured enough to be worth clearing your calendar for, loose enough to still surprise you.


Who attends

Operators at growth-stage companies. Investors who've done the work. People whose presence makes others sharper. Attendance is by invitation or referral — not application.


Who runs it

Kenneth Lo. Operator, investor, and founding partner at Arc5 Ventures. He's built and scaled companies in industries where the margins are thin and the work is unglamorous — which is most of the economy.

The gatherings are curated personally. The list of who gets in is a judgment call, not an algorithm.


What we run
01

Intimate dinners

Eight to twelve operators. One theme. No agenda beyond honest conversation.

02

Curated roundtables

Structured dialogue around a specific inflection point — capital, GTM, team transitions.

03

Field sessions

Off-site, off-screen. Movement and environment as a forcing function for clarity.
