💡 What Makes This Event Different

• Many people have ideas.
• But building a startup alone is difficult.
• The best startups are built by strong teams.
• This event is designed to help ambitious founders, engineers and builders meet potential co-founders and collaboratorsin a structured networking environment.

🤝 What You’ll Experience

• Interactive Co-Founder Networking

Before the session begins, participants vote on the topic or challenge they want to explore together.
The most popular topic becomes the focus of the networking session.
Participants are then divided into small groups to work around that shared challenge.

This format helps people quickly connect, understand each other’s thinking, and discover potential collaboration opportunities.

It’s networking with a purpose — not just introductions.

• Startup Pitches

Selected founders present their startups to the audience and investors.
Each pitcher shares their idea, product, or progress and receives visibility, feedback, and potential connections with investors and collaborators.
This is an opportunity to showcase what you’re building and spark meaningful conversations after the session.

• Chill Networking

After the structured part, participants can continue conversations in a relaxed environment.

👥 Who Should Attend

• Entrepreneurs with startup ideas
• Engineers and technical builders
