After 8 years building a tech company in the Bay Area, Felipe moved to Austin with a mission: to help shape and support the city’s next generation of technical leadership. At Tecla, he brings together software engineering leaders through gatherings designed for connection, perspective, and community.
Isabella is the behind-the-scenes force behind Sobremesa. From scouting venues to crafting every detail of the experience, she makes sure each gathering feels relaxed, thoughtful, and built for real connection.
Each dinner takes place at one of the best Latin American restaurants in the city—Peruvian, Mexican, Argentinian, Brazilian. To reflect the communal spirit of sobremesa, we serve everything family style. The table shares a curated spread of standout dishes, giving everyone a chance to taste the full range of flavors.
The setting is private. The drinks are top-shelf. And the conversations? Focused, honest, and peer-led.
