Build+Spark - a networking event for young founders
One conversation could move your idea forward.
Maybe you’ve spotted a problem worth solving. Maybe you have an idea but need someone to build it with. Or maybe you’re curious about entrepreneurship and want to find your starting point.
Build + Spark brings people together to turn that curiosity into connections, and connections into possible next steps.
Through guided conversations, idea sharing and a Give-and-Ask Board, you’ll meet people with different strengths, explore what you could build together and find support for what comes next.
Who is it for?
This is for you if you’re:
Aged 15-25
Exploring entrepreneurship, with or without a business idea
Working on an idea and looking for collaborators, feedback or support
Keen to contribute your skills and meet people building something new
Curious about an industry, social issue or problem you’d like to solve
✨ Three hours of ideas, connections and possibilities
📝 Start with what’s on your mind
Grab your Founder Connection Card and tell us a little about yourself: what you’re curious about, what you can offer and the connection you’d love to make. Then settle in and say your first hellos.
👋 Meet your hosts & discover BuilderLab and Wavesparks
