Resident is a VC-backed culinary platform based in NYC. We partner with luxury buildings to turn penthouses, townhouses, and members-only clubs into luxury dining experiences. Our mission is to empower the culinary community. We hand-select emerging talents from Michelin-starred restaurants, including Blue Hill, Carbone, Eleven Madison Park, Gramercy Tavern, Noma, and Per Se, and provide them with the infrastructure to host ‘pop-up'-style events. Each evening is a ‘chef’s table’ dining experience, with the chef creating their own menu, cooking in an open kitchen, and personally introducing each course, along with their inspiration. With us, they cook food they’re personally passionate about, exploring flavors and techniques beyond the boundaries of their day jobs. We host ticketed events for the general public, private events for corporate clients ranging from unicorn start-ups to the Fortune 500, and bespoke activations for forward-thinking luxury brands. Resident was recognized by Inc Magazine in 2023 as the fastest-growing dining concept in the country (#381 Overall) - and in 2024 as the second fastest-growing company in NYC (#4 in the Northeast). We’ve also been featured in Crain’s, Eater, Forbes, The New York Times, Time Out, Worth, and more. Our investors include: Valor Equity Partners (invested in: Tesla, SpaceX, Reddit), Bienville Capital (invested in: Zola, Qualia, and Ro), and Quality Branded (owners of: Smith & Wollensky, Quality Italian, Zou Zou’s).
