This December, two worlds tune in to the same signal.

#ExcelsiorEdge, a community of strategy-forward founders & investors by Madeline & Co. & Strategy Market, teams up with Light DAO, the global network of conscious entrepreneurs & creators, for a night that blends clarity with rhythm, ambition with ease.

The Light of Strategy is a night to connect with 150 of NYC's best innovators, the ones building differently, founders who lead with purpose, investors who play the long game, & artists who remind us why it all matters.

At 9 PM, the lights dim, the sound rises, & the room transforms. DJs, dancers, & live performances carry us through the night. It's SoHo speakeasy energy with heart.

Before the celebration begins, a private dinner for 50 guests will set the tone. From 7 to 9 PM, a three-course prefix await a curated table of founders, investors, & artists. ($114 prix-fixe three-course family-style service) A portion of the dinner proceeds will support The Madeline Mission, funding research & treatment for children battling PKAN.
