Dynamite Circle Event
Completed Event
Lisbon, Portugal
18 Sep 2025
A structured small-group discussion inspired by Benjamin Franklin's original Junto club. Members take turns presenting challenges or ideas for focused peer feedback. Typically held with 6-12 participants to keep the conversation intimate and actionable.
A Junto event took place in Lisbon on September 18. This gathering brought together founders for an evening of connection and conversation.
The event was held at a restaurant, with the intention of securing a large table overlooking the river. This created a relaxed and scenic atmosphere for attendees to engage and network.
Taking advantage of Lisbon's pleasant late-summer weather, there was a plan to potentially relocate the group to a nearby park after the initial gathering. This offered an opportunity for continued discussions in a more casual, outdoor setting.
This event is hosted in the DC Lisbon Chapter area, home to around 34 DC members. Visit the chapter page for nearby founders, travel trends, and upcoming events in the city.
