Activate x Marvin Ventures Founder Mixer
Join us for a virtual mixer bringing together Activate Fellows and McKinsey alumni founders. This event is designed for founders in the ideation stage, exploring pivots, or seeking a cofounder.
Format: speed dating-style sessions with technical founders.
The Activate x McKinsey alumni community has produced two unicorns, including Twelve (co-founded by Nicholas Flanders). The program is now led by Managing Director Etosha Cave.
Whether you are exploring your next venture or looking for a technical cofounder, this mixer connects you with a curated group of founders building at the frontier of deep tech and enterprise.
Hosted by Ulrik Soderstrom, Co-Founder and Venture Partner at Marvin Ventures.
