Rare Grind
One Friday, we're taking over The Ministry in Borough, and turning it into a room full of founders and operators just getting stuff done. No panels, no pitch decks, no forced networking. Just good wifi, proper aircon, and people who actually understand the grind you're in.
Come alone, leave with three new people who get it. Or come, put your headphones on, and just work. Either way, you'll get more done here than you would alone at home.
Who this is for
Founders, operators, and anyone building in the startup world who wants real focus time, plus the option to meet good people along the way.
Spots are limited and everyone gets manually approved. We're starting with capacity for 30 people, but we'll try to open up more spaces closer to the event, subject to the Ministry's approval.
We're not policing this, but if you can no longer attend, please cancel so we can give your spot to someone else.
