Exclusive Sailing Gathering for LPs, GPs & Founders | Pre-Event The Foundry

​Hosted by Skagerak Capital & Thommessen 

​As part of the investor and startup gathering The Foundry in Kristiansand and Mandal (June 3–5), we are inviting a curated group of LPs, GPs and founders to join us for a truly unique experience.

​On June 3rd, we step on board Fullriggeren Sørlandet, the world’s oldest operating full-rigged ship, and set out on a journey through some of Southern Norway’s most beautiful coastal landscapes.

​This invitation-only program (complementary) is designed for ambitious founders and leading investors. For LPs attending the LP experience - Norway edition this pre-event is scheduled as a natural and convenient start to the day. You will be back in due time for other side events to the conference.
