Business Development & Networking

Not your typical networking - Real conversations, practical support and genuine connections with fellow founders who truly get the journey. Plus insights from an industry leader who’s been there.

This event builds on what made the first one special. We’re creating a space for honest dialogue, shared experiences and meaningful support, now with the added opportunity to learn directly from a seasoned expert in the field.

Whether you're celebrating a breakthrough or wrestling with those 3am challenges, you’ll meet people who understand exactly what you’re navigating.

No sales pitches, no corporate fluff - Just founders in their first 1–3 years and an industry speaker offering real, actionable wisdom.

Come ready to learn, share and connect authentically. Because businesses don’t grow in isolation - they grow with guidance, community and conversations that matter.

Ready to reconnect with your founder tribe and get inspired by someone who’s been in the trenches?
