Digital Asset Founders' Toolkit - Dinner
This autumn, Capsule and Nephos are bringing together Founders and Finance leads from some of the UK's most exciting crypto scaleups for dinner in The City.
Join us at Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen & Bar near Finsbury Circus Gardens for canapés, a three-course meal and free-flowing conversation with peers - plus a few industry leaders in the mix for candid, Chatham House Rules chat on funding, regulation and risk. See more on the topic below.
The evening coincides with the second evening of Digital Assets Week at The Thistle, St Katharine's Way - a 20-minute walk or taxi away.
About the venue
Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen & Bar - The City
Just minutes from Moorgate and Liverpool Street, Bread Street Kitchen & Bar – The City brings a bold New York loft vibe to the heart of London.
We'll be in the private dining room, with a seasonal three course menu and it's own private bar.
What we'll cover
The MiCA and Finprom problem: accessing Europe and the UK - a look at the successes and failures of regimes already well underway in the EU, and the UK's FSMA regime coming into force in 2027.
Why recent EU authorisation rejections are a genuine preview of what an unprepared UK application could look like, and how founders can still access both markets.
What VCs are actually funding in 2026 - fundraising hasn't dried up, but the bar has moved. What investors are looking for now, and the most likely routes to sourcing additional funding.
The TradFi/digital assets crossover - tokenised deposits, gilts and funds, and where the real institutional opportunity now sits for founders building infrastructure rather than retail products.
Expect a candid, practical conversation rather than a panel - real talking points for founders weighing UK-first, EU-first, or dual-track strategies right now.
