good evening my slimes x
time to read what some charitably describe as a weekly newsletter
silly season 👿
for the uninitiated, let’s catch up on the lore
in april we declared the start of silly season
we promised to forever change the landscape of boring tech events in london (read my yapps here)
because you, the founder, deserve better than awkward networking + cheap wine
quite the contrare - you deserve to be dizzied & dazzled (& bedazzled?…if u wish)
you deserve experiences that remind you what a team & crazy dream can achieve.
nothing less for those building the world of tomorrow !
today we kick it off properly…
Founder v Funder Games
the first of it’s kind (yes!)
the last of it’s kind (maybe!)
what if you could connect with investors in a whole different way?
imagine closing your round after going all in on a poker table…
what if a goal earned you meeting?…
what if you met your next cheque letting loose at our post-boxing match warehouse rave?
we’re working with founden & founderfuel & superteam to answer all those questions!
we’re pitting founders and investors against each other to see who really runs the game:
[aug 5th | 7pm]
⚽ The Pitch Game (footie) will test your teamwork, timing, and instinct
[aug 8th | 8pm]
🧠 The Mind Game (poker) will test your focus, nerve, and bluff
[aug 16th | 6pm]
🥊 The Final Game (boxing) will test everything you’ve got left.
we do have one ask!
share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share share
this in every relevant group chat and with anyone who might be keen!
let’s make tech events good (again?) together!
