ABOUT THIS STARTUP AND BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENT

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

This evening is co-organised by tech startups GMax Card and Getshop Today, and hosted at Tide HQ - the digital bank built for entrepreneurs. Created by founders who've been in the trenches, this event brings together startup founders and operators, tech entrepreneurs, fintech builders, and finance professionals.

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.

WHO'S IN THE ROOM

Expect a mix of:

• Early-stage to growth-stage startup founders
• Tech entrepreneurs and product builders
• Fintech innovators and operators
• Indie founders and bootstrapped business owners
• Finance professionals and startup advisors
• People working across business and technology

Limited to 40 attendees to keep conversations meaningful.

WHAT MAKES THIS NETWORKING EVENT UNIQUE

Tired of informal business drinks where conversations go nowhere? Done with large, overwhelming conferences where you collect business cards you’ll never follow up on?
We built something different - structured enough to actually meet people, relaxed enough to have real conversations:

• Well-tested icebreakers (optional, but they work) to break the initial awkwardness
• Rapid intro rounds so you know who's in the room and what they're building
• Short, tactical talks from GMax Card on strategic networking and Tide on founder-friendly business tools
• Energetic pacing that keeps energy high and conversations flowing
• On-the-spot Tide consultations - bring your banking and ops questions, get real answers

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH:

• Free premium business card (£65 value) - ask the host to claim yours on the night
• Real connections - potential co-founders, early customers, advisors, hires, or partners (often the best ones are people you didn't expect to meet)
• 50% off premium digital cards from GMax Card for your whole team
• Actionable insights on tools that actually make running a startup or business easier
