​Please read before registering

​This is a curated event. We vet and qualify every attendee to keep the room high quality, the right mix of founders, builders and investors, and nobody just coasting in.

​When you sign up, please answer the questions accurately. Tell us your company, what you actually do, whether you're a VC or investor, and why you want to be in the room. We read every application, and a spot isn't confirmed until we've reviewed it.

​Get it right and we'll see you there.

​Builders Collective presents: A full day for founders, builders and the people who fund them.

​Start the morning with open coworking. Bring your laptop, work on your idea, and make progress alongside other founders, operators and people building real things.

​In the afternoon, selected founders take the floor to pitch what they're building and get feedback from the room, with experienced founders, operators and investors taking part. Straight after, we run founder office hours, a focused window to keep the conversations going rather than letting the day dip.

​In the evening, VCs, angels and people who actually fund startups join us for talks, a panel and an open Q&A on how raising really works, what investors look for, and the routes worth knowing beyond VC. Networking either side, so you meet the room properly.

​Speakers

Kickstart Global
Partnering on the event are Kickstart Global, a prominent startup accelerator and incubator in London. Joining us to judge pitches is Ilya from the Kickstart team. He can provide insight into idea validation, raising rounds, and navigating the startup ecosystem.

​More speakers to be announced very soon.

​Whether you're heads-down building, getting ready to raise, or just want to understand the money side of startups, come for the part that fits or stay the whole day.

​Free to attend. Spaces are limited.
