Founded by Dylan Ladda in January 2025, Ax2 is the culmination of years of exploration in the hospitality industry. A lifelong passion for hospitality first transformed into a business endeavor in 2021 with the launch of Crooked Capra Cocktail Club in Charleston, South Carolina, a cocktail development and catering group. Upon returning to New York, Dylan joined Major Food Group, working at their Michelin-starred restaurant and bar, Torrisi, before eventually leaving to establish Ax2. Drawing inspiration from his travels, Dylan’s vision for Ax2 is to introduce new and exciting concepts to New York City—bringing together the best elements of hospitality from around the globe to cultivate truly unique and memorable experiences.









At Ax2 Hospitality, we specialize in creating and investing in distinctive, high-quality concepts that deliver unforgettable moments for every guest. We believe hospitality is more than just service; it’s a lifestyle, an art, and a form of entertainment. This philosophy guides everything we do, as we aim to define ourselves by blending creativity, quality, and connection.
