The Legendary Start-up Christmas Party!
While Michael Bublé is officially out of hibernation, it’s time for the startup world to swap pitch decks for prosecco and spreadsheets for shenanigans.
After last year’s sell-out debut, we’re back by huge demand — and if you were there, you already know how wild it got. We had Santa handing out free gifts, the drinks were flowing all night, and let’s just say… a few legendary memories were made.
This year, we’re turning it up another notch. Hosted by Rare Founders (with organising partners to be announced soon), the Startup Christmas Party brings the entire startup community together under one festive roof for a night of pure celebration.
📅 Date & Time: Tuesday, 9th December 2025 | 6 p.m. – Midnight
📍 Venue: Blue Marlin Ibiza London Private Members Club
For one night only, founders, investors, operators, and startup teams will ditch the grind to unwind, reconnect, and celebrate another rollercoaster year of wins, lessons, and caffeine-fuelled chaos.
✨ What to Expect:
A night to dance, laugh, and connect with London’s most ambitious founders and investors
Our founder DJs plus a headline DJ to keep the energy high all night
Festive drinks, exclusive networking, and plenty of surprises
The return of the Christmas Duck Hunt 🦆 (details to follow!)
Our beloved Secret Santa 🎁 — bring a small gift (£5–£10) to share with someone in the community
A special raffle prize draw — more details coming soon!
🎅 Dress Code:
No strict rules, but we’re bringing the sparkle — think suits, evening dresses, or standout Christmas jumpers. Feeling extra? We’ve even made a moodboard to help you nail the vibe.
🎟️ Space is Limited!
Last year sold out fast, and this year will be no different. The venue has a capacity & once it’s full, it’s one in, one out. Grab your ticket early and arrive on time — this one’s going to be big.
💌 Want to Get Involved?
If you’d like to donate a prize for the raffle or contribute Secret Santa gifts for the community. If you or your company would like to sponsor the event (so we can keep those drinks flowing!), we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s wrap up 2025 the way we started it — bold, connected, and a little bit cheeky.
