This June, Berkeley Summit House had the pleasure of co-hosting the Inception Studio Summer Reunion BBQ at our estate in Napa Valley. Surrounded by 2.5 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon vines and framed by century-old olive trees, the setting brought together the warmth of summer with the spirit of innovation.

As Inception Studio’s long-time partner and investor, we were honored to support this gathering of brilliant alumni founders, all of whom have passed through Inception’s venture-building programs. The event was more than just a reunion—it was a celebration of shared journeys, personal breakthroughs, and the enduring bonds forged through entrepreneurship.

Over great food, sweeping vineyard views, and relaxed conversation, attendees reconnected with old friends and met new collaborators. Family members and partners joined the occasion, adding to the atmosphere of inclusion and community.

At Berkeley Summit House, we believe in cultivating spaces—both physical and intellectual— that spark imagination and connection. It was a privilege to offer our Napa property as the backdrop for this gathering, and we look forward to supporting more moments like this in the future.
