Founder brief

Who should attend

Entrepreneurs testing new concepts, raising early funding, or searching for their first developer will find relevant peers here. The setting also suits professionals looking to connect with startups as future co-founders, advisors, or customers across sector-agnostic industries.

What happens

Starting at 17:00, the mixer eliminates panels and speeches in favour of straightforward mingling in a dedicated space. Attendees grab name tags at the door and spend the evening swapping stories, getting quick project feedback, and initiating working relationships.

Who's in the room

Over a hundred builders and backers gather, creating a crowd composed of startup founders, software engineers, active investors, tech recruiters, freelancers, and mentors looking to share hard-won operational lessons.

How to prepare

Bring your LinkedIn QR code or physical business cards to trade details quickly over informal chats. Dress in business-casual attire, including jeans, and ensure your Luma registration is confirmed beforehand since walk-ins will be turned away at the door.
