Founders & Builders Night
Founders & Builders Night
For people building ambitious things… and occasionally questioning their sanity.
Most founder events are exhausting.
Everyone’s “crushing it.”
Everyone’s “super busy.”
Everyone’s pretending they slept more than 5 hours this week.
This is not that.
Founders & Builders Night is a small cocktail gathering for people in Bucharest who are building companies, ideas, communities, side projects, or careers that actually matter to them.
Not a conference.
Not speed networking.
Not 40 people waiting to pitch you their startup between sips of wine.
Just a thoughtfully curated room with ambitious people having honest conversations.
About:
→ positioning
→ growth
→ brand strategy
→ hiring
→ burnout
→ difficult decisions
→ and the weird emotional rollercoaster of building something meaningful
Because sometimes the most valuable thing isn’t advice.
It’s realizing:
“Oh good… other smart people are struggling with this too.”

What makes this different?
We intentionally design the night to create real conversation.
Meaning:
🍸 small group discussions
🧠 guided icebreakers that go deeper than “what do you do?”
🤝 relaxed social energy without awkward networking pressure
The goal isn’t to collect contacts.
The goal is to leave feeling:
→ inspired
→ understood
→ energized
→ and maybe slightly less alone
A Few People Joining
Founders and operators already attending include people from:
• easySales
• Solo
• SalesPartner App
…along with startup founders, creatives, marketers, operators, and people building interesting things in Bucharest.
The Kind of Conversations We Want
Not:
“So what’s your business model?”
More like:
→ “How did you figure out your positioning?”
→ “What part of building this has been unexpectedly hard?”
→ “What’s something you changed your mind about recently?”
→ “What are you trying to solve right now?”
Those are the conversations that people remember.
One Important Note
This is intentionally kept small (~25 people).
Because:
better conversations happen in smaller rooms.
And honestly?
The right room can change your trajectory more than another month of scrolling LinkedIn advice.
