THE AGENDA - vc rooftop party, founder v funder boxing, house party | issue #19

your weekly digest on the goings ons, happenings & scheduled shenanigans in pluggedland

hi friends x

be not afraid

tis i

the bearer of good tidings of great events

we’ve got BIG one today so deep breath & buckle up in out and all around

first some exclusive previews - tis silly season!

a few emails ago i promised u that we’d forever change the landscape of tech events in london (read my yapps here)

and we’d do that through a fundamental silliness:

silly in ambition

silly in scope

silly in execution

one thing about us…

we keep our promises

so…

popcorn at the ready

mobiles off!

the trailers are about to begin…

FounderTown

just past the old trailhead, through a clearing of fir trees, there’s a town that isn’t supposed to exist.

it started with one founder who walked away from the London noise and discovered an abandoned settlement.

he fixed the coffee machine.

then the bunk beds.

then the Wi-Fi.

word spread.

now, once a year, the weird ones return.

the brilliant ones.

the ones with burn rate spreadsheets & half-finished dreams.

they come to Foundertown….

retreat and go deep with cracked founders in the neighbourhood

Founder vs Funder Games

v silly

more info coming sooooooooooooooon(ish)

other goings on

Residentials Vol VII: Founder Fireside & House Party

saturday june 14th - 4pm →

let’s gooooooo

the house is back

and the party is bigger than ever

fireside chat. mystery flights. cocktails. wings. wii. banging tunes.

everything you love and more and more

u had to be there x

we’re still looking for micro-sponsorships to help us take these (not inexpensive parties) to the next level

why micro-sponsorships?

sponsors generally hate house parties (boo!)

it’s not corporate enough (boooo!)

but there is a cost (sad!)

so we’re asking our community (you) for help!

in the room: get your name / logo on particular elements of the party.

you can sponsor:

  • the wings station

  • the cocktails station

  • the fireside chat

  • our wii sports zone

  • our slightly unhinged mid-party gameshow

  • song requests (!!)

+ online: get a shoutout on our social media + newsletter

that’s exposure to 3000+ founders & tech folk across our channels (yum)

rooftop party, but add VCs?

defo not a crook

every friday we gather to take in the rays

​& enjoy good tunes, good vibes & even gooder people

​this time Gen Z VCs are pulling up

​for the uninitiated, the formula is simple:

​rooftop + sunset + drinks + tuuuunes

​= vibes on vibes

free tickets!
