Founders Connect
About
Founders Connect is an event organizer operating across the Middle East and India. Active since 2026, the group takes a sector-agnostic approach to bringing startup operators together. Their programming spans international hubs including Dubai, Bengaluru, and Sector 18 in Noida, providing regional founders with straightforward opportunities to gather and discuss company building.
What they run
Their track record includes four completed events split between mixers and summits. Two gatherings have taken place in Dubai, with single events held in Bengaluru and Sector 18, Noida. The calendar currently features no upcoming sessions, as the organizer has historically focused on this mix of two informal mixers and two larger summits across their core cities.
Who attends
The audience reflects their sector-agnostic remit, drawing entrepreneurs from various industries rather than a single vertical. Founders, executives, and early-stage operators attend both for the casual relationship-building of the mixers and the more formal discussions characteristic of their summits. The mix of locations attracts startup communities active in Dubai and key Indian tech ecosystems.
