Co-founder Nights
Co-founder Nights is a curated gathering for people who think like founders - but haven’t yet found the right project or the right people to build it with. It’s part chemistry test, part conversation starter.
We bring together experienced profiles – from ex-founders and early startup employees to corporate talents itching to break free. Everyone in the room is handpicked for their potential to co-found something meaningful.
Two early-stage spinouts will be in the room, both looking for a commercial co-founder. But this night isn’t just about them. It’s about everyone else too. The chance to meet, talk, and see what happens when smart, ambitious people collide.
Program Overview
16:00 – Welcome & Warm-up
We kick things off with a quick welcome and a short intro on co-founder matchmaking opportunities
17:00 – Matchmaking Challenge - Mutual intros across the room
17:10 – Breakout Sessions Begin
You'll explore two startup cases: Plastera and GMR, followed by a facilitated group session:
Plastera: Black plastic can’t be recycled with today’s tech. Plastesa is solving that with light-based scanning that makes it possible to sort what others can’t see.
GMR: With GMR’s algorithm, your health data becomes portable. It collects and converts your medical records into a universal format for global use.

We bring everyone back together to share what’s emerged from the sessions.
