Cubbon Conversations: Consumer Stack — Education, Recruitment, Travel & Commerce
Some of the most interesting consumer companies come from people who've spent years deep inside a sector (E.g. education, recruitment, travel and commerce) and finally decide to build the thing they've been thinking about for a while.
This walk is for operators and early-stage founders in these spaces who want to think out loud about what they're seeing and what they might build next.
We'll walk through Cubbon Park and talk about:
What's actually changing in how people learn, hire, and travel and what isn't
Ideas you're noodling on, early bets you're making
Where defensibility moat / right to win comes from in these categories
Patterns from companies we've worked with across education, recruitment, travel and commerce
The messy reality of going from operator to founder
No decks. No pitches. Just a walk and honest conversations.
Joining the walk:
Manish Advani and Vaibhav Chowdhury from the Consumer Tech team at Elevation Capital. They work closely with category-defining consumer founders across India and are keen to exchange notes on what's working, what's breaking, and where the next big companies in these spaces might come from.
We'll grab breakfast and coffee after the walk to keep the conversation going.
Keeping this small group so the conversations stay highly interactive. If you're building or thinking about building in education, recruitment, travel or commerce; come walk with us.
Who this is for
Operators in the Consumer Space who are tinkering around with ideas around Travel, Recruitment, Education & Commerce and contemplating their next move.
Early Builders in the Travel, Recruitment, Education and Commerce space.
