A recur­ring series of ours is the May­bach Men­tor Talks, a dis­cus­sion forum fea­tur­ing diverse and rel­e­vant thinkers, vision­ar­ies, and dri­vers of inno­va­tion shar­ing their per­son­al jour­neys from ear­ly inspi­ra­tion to where they are today — includ­ing mis­steps tak­en along the way. Past speak­ers include ex-NASA CTO Chris Kemp, North­Face Founder Hap Klopp, and extreme-sports ath­lete JT Holmes.

Fur­ther, towards the end of 2025, we expand­ed the May­bach Din­ner Series with an inti­mate gath­er­ing in Bel Air on behalf of Mer­cedes-May­bach and the May­bach Foun­da­tion, wel­com­ing guests along­side the Mer­cedes-May­bach SL 680 Mono­gram Series. We also host­ed an evening in San Fran­cis­co with US Cap­i­tal Glob­al at The Motor­ing Club, togeth­er with Men­tor­Cloud, on the eco­nom­ic val­ue of mentoring.

May­bach Foun­da­tion Patrons receive exclu­sive invites to these, as well as oth­er May­bach Foun­da­tion events, and will be pri­or­i­tized in the issu­ing of tick­ets.

On a month­ly basis, we update our com­mu­ni­ty with recent news, achieved mile­stones, and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks.
