**REGISTER FOR THE FEBRUARY 16TH EVENT [here](https://luma.com/vrzpg3f4): [Will Quantum Computing Destroy Crypto?](https://luma.com/vrzpg3f4)**
**Will Quantum Computing Destroy Crypto?**
Quantum computing is often cited as the one technology that could, in theory, compromise today’s blockchain security models.
But how real is that risk, and how worried should we actually be?
At our February CryptoMondays London, we’re cutting through the noise to unpack what quantum computing really means for crypto.
We’ll touch on:
* What quantum computing actually is (no maths degree required)
* Which parts of blockchain security *could* be affected - and which probably won’t
* Timelines: what matters now vs what’s still a long way off
* How the industry is thinking about a post-quantum future
**Keynote: Quantum vs Blockchain: Existential Threat or Industry Myth?** Join us for an enlightening keynote speech from Chunteng Xiao, who will explore the impact of quantum computing on blockchain: what the potential risks are to cryptographic systems, how it is shaping the industry and what steps are being taken, as well as Nervos CKB's approach to quantum resistance.
**Speakers**
**Keynote Speaker: Chunteng Xiao, Fullstack blockchain developer (Nervos CKB) & Researcher.**

AI on Tap - Ignite
**AI on Tap - Ignite: Real Founders. Real Pitches. Real Beer.**
*In collaboration with: [Dust](https://dust.tt/) and [Barclays Eagle Labs](https://labs.uk.barclays/)*
**The pitch event that actually helps you raise**
Let’s be honest – most pitch events are painful. You watch founder after founder deliver polished presentations to a panel of judges who nod sagely and offer vague feedback. Everyone claps politely. Nobody learns anything useful.
**AI on Tap – Ignite is different.**
We’re bringing together ambitious AI founders who are serious about raising capital – and putting them through their paces in the most constructive way possible.
***Here's how it works***
**🎯 Pitch Simulator**
Four brave founders present their fundraising decks to a room full of other founders and investors. But here’s the twist – the entire room gets to play investor, asking the tough questions you’ll face in real meetings. No softballs. No politeness. Just honest scrutiny that gets you truly prepared.
**💰 Raise Simulator**
Everyone gets £20k of virtual money to invest through our event app. Put your money where your mouth is – bid for equity in the companies you believe in. Put yourself in the shoes of investors. See fundraising from the other side of the table.
**💡 Round-up Panel**
Our hosts reveal the results and break down what worked, what didn’t, and why. Real insights from people who’ve been there and done it, both as founders and investors.
**🎤 Open Mic Q&A**
Your turn. Bring your burning questions about fundraising, pitch decks, or that tricky slide you can’t quite nail. Get answers from a room full of people who get it.
**🍺 Proper Networking**
The best conversations happen over a pint. Meet other founders facing the same challenges, swap war stories, and build your network.
***Why this actually works***
*Get battle-tested before it matters*
You’re going to face difficult questions from investors. Better to hear them first in a supportive room than bomb in your actual pitch.
*See through investor eyes*
Playing investor yourself is the best way to question your own assumptions and understand what investors are really looking for.
*Learn from real examples*
Watch other founders navigate tough questions. Steal what works. Avoid what doesn’t.
***Meet Your Hosts***
[Marc Hartog](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marchartog/) \- CEO\, [Fractionality Ltd](https://www.fractionality.xyz/)

[Pax Zoega](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paxzoega/) \- Co\-Founder & CEO\, [Outlean + Hyperlytics (UK)](https://hyperlytics.digital/)
***Who should be there***
**You're a founder if...**
* You’re planning to raise in the next 12 months
* Your pitch deck needs a reality check
* You want honest feedback, not empty encouragement
* You’re ready to help other founders succeed
**You're an investor if...**
* You want to meet ambitious AI founders
* You believe in constructive feedback
* You’re looking for your next opportunity
* You enjoy a good beer and better conversation
***Ready to ignite your raise?***
This isn’t your typical pitch event. It’s a room full of people who want you to succeed – and will tell you exactly what you need to hear to get there.
No theatrical judging panels. No start-up theatre. Just real feedback that makes a real difference.

Strategic Clarity Lab – Working Session for Founders and business owners
A small, informal meetup for business owners and leaders who want help untangling a real problem they’re facing.
We’ll take one issue at a time and work through it collaboratively — clarifying what’s actually going on, what matters most, and what decisions would move things forward.
**What we’ll do:**
* One or two people bring a real business challenge
* We slow it down, question assumptions, and map the problem clearly
* No slides, no pitches — just structured thinking and conversation
**Who it’s for:**
* Founders, owners, and leaders
* People dealing with complexity, uncertainty, or competing priorities
This first session is a soft launch — small by design, informal, and exploratory.
No selling, no obligation, just thinking together in a relaxed setting.
