Daos Summer Founders Connect: Drinks & 60-Second Pitches
ABOUT THE EVENING
Building a company in Dubai during August can feel quiet, but we’re bringing local founders together for a solid evening of good conversations, cold drinks, and fast pitches.
No 45-minute slide decks—just real talk about what we’re building, where we’re getting stuck, and how we can support each other.
Whether you're early stage, raising, or scaling up, come through to meet fellow founders and grab some food.
WANT TO PITCH YOUR STARTUP?
We’re hosting a quick 60-second pitch challenge on stage during the night! The winning founder gets 7 days of VIP Ecosystem Access at Daos Hub for their core team.
If you’re interested in taking the mic, select "Yes" during registration and drop your startup details. We’ll review all applications and reach out directly to selected founders.
