In the startup and business world, success rarely happens in isolation. The right connections unlock co-founders, early customers, and relationships that accelerate growth.

- "Quick intros" round - 30-60 seconds each so everyone knows who's who in the room
- Short talks from GMax Card on strategic networking and Tide on founder-friendly business tools
- On-the-spot Tide consultations - bring your banking and ops questions, get real answers
- Drinks and refreshments for real conversations to develop naturally
Co-organised by GMax Card and Getshop Today, hosted at Tide HQ - the digital bank built for entrepreneurs.
Created by founders who've done it themselves.Whether you're pre-seed or scaling, solo or building a team, this is where you meet the people who get it and can help you move faster.

- Tech entrepreneurs and product builders
- Fintech innovators and operators
- Indie founders, solopreneurs and bootstrapped business owners
