Ignite London January - Founders Meetup + Happy Hour 🍸
Join us for an afternoon of founder-to-founder learning, insights, and networking at the Ignite London AI & Deep Tech Hub.
****
We’re excited to welcome Leonid (Leo) Feinberg, Co-founder & CEO of Verax AI, to our upcoming Ignite London Founders Meetup.
Leo is a multi-exited founder with a rare track record of building world-class companies. He co-founded CloudEndure and helped lead it from inception through its acquisition by Amazon Web Services, where it became a business unit generating roughly $1B in revenue.
The session will be a fireside chat led by Michelle Taycher Nishry, a close friend of the programme and an excellent moderator. Together, they’ll share candid insights on scaling, exiting, and building at the highest level, with plenty of room for questions and open discussion.
