Consumer tech day: sharp take pitches, podcast & retro afterparty
We’re carving out a half-day during London Tech Week for the builders and backers shaping consumer AI — across apps, agents, games, wearables, and the next wave of B2C.
At 4:30 pm, the stage opens. Founders pitch a jury of VCs in a Sharp Take showdown, with up to $20K in Snapchat ad credits on the line.
The lineup comes from Traction Builder 3.0, our B2C accelerator with 13 startups ($21M combined ARR). You'll meet the founders behind an app studio growing 250% YoY, a language-learning app that's hit 5M+ downloads, a mental health platform doing $6M ARR, and other outstanding startups from the cohort.
From 7 pm, we're going all in on the '70s and '80s. Vinyl spinning on the turntable, arcade cabinets in the corner, an '80s DJ set running through Blondie, Prince, and Donna Summer, light bites and drinks in hand, retro props at the door to help complete the look. Dress code: optional '70s/'80s, but the room will be in full character either way.
Alongside the afterparty, we'll be recording the podcast live in a separate room. Off-script conversations with founders and investors about building in consumer AI.
This is where the whole consumer tech crowd in London for LTW will be.
