late night cafe | Students&Starters + Spark Festival 2026

​Part of Spark Festival 2026

​Founders and students, on the same table. Think house party meets late-night café; good food and real conversation!

​It's a potluck, so bring something if you'd like to add to the table (a dish, a drink, dessert, whatever); there'll already be brownies, matcha and coffee on hand, and probably something to drink too, so no one's showing up to an empty table. :D

​For founders, it's a chance to swap notes with other people building right now, and meet students who might end up being a hire, a collaborator, or just a useful outside perspective.

​For students studying tech (or adjacent to it), ever wondered what a degree like this can actually lead to, especially with the corporate job market feeling tougher than it used to? Founding, engineering, product, design, leadership; the paths are wider than they look from inside a lecture hall. Come sit with people who've taken a few of them.
