SAARI Founder Showdown Trivia & Curry Night, powered by Blackbird

​Description

​It’s time to trivia. Your night where mostly useless knowledge becomes incredibly useful.

​The SAARI Founder Showdown is an official Blackbird Sunrise side event.

​A trivia-style night bringing together founders, operators, investors and creatives from across the startup community — with diverse South Asian founders at the centre.

​It’s social, a little competitive, and genuinely fun. A night where builders get to brag about the obscure rabbit holes they’ve gone down.

​Come with a team, or come solo — we’ll match you up on the night.

​On the night

• ​Startup-themed trivia — from well-known wins to questionable ideas

• ​Anonymous founder confessions (you’ll guess who said it)

• ​“Real or bullshit” — can you tell the difference?

• ​A spicy food round for the brave (or reckless)

• ​Final round: find and pitch the worst app on the internet

​Food & drinks

• ​Curry night menu available (pre-order recommended)

• ​South Asian-inspired cocktail and mocktail

• ​Bar open throughout

​Prize

​🏆 $300 for the winning team — plus the satisfaction of knowing you were right all along

​Who it’s for

​Founders, operators, investors and creatives — especially those who want to meet others across the South Asian and broader startup community, without the usual networking drinks.

​Details

• ​Limited to 70 people

• ​Meet SAARI members — some of the most interesting South Asian founders in Australia — and connect with the wider startup community

• ​Not everyone gets in — just the truest trivia nerds

​Expect a few right answers, a few terrible guesses, and at least one team taking this far too seriously.

​See you there.
