ABOUT THIS STARTUP AND BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENT
In the startup and business world, success rarely happens in isolation. The right connections unlock co-founders, early customers, and relationships that accelerate growth.
But most networking events don't deliver that. After hundreds of iterations, we've built a format that actually works:- Well-tested icebreakers (optional, but they work) to break the initial awkwardness
- "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
Testimonials: Check out video testimonials from founders who've attended previous events.
