Consumer tech day
We're carving out a day in London for the builders and backers shaping consumer tech: apps, conversational AI, consumer hardware, and D2C.
Here's how the day goes:
Pitch competition. Up to 10 startups pitch for a $5K prize from Snapchat. The jury features consumer investors from Breega, JamJar, Atomico, Active Partners, and Left Lane Capital.
Two tracks: one for founders, one for investors. The startup track is a series of playbooks from ElevenLabs, Granola, and other operators who've shipped, on topics like acquisition, paywalls, retention, distribution, and growth. The investor track is a panel and curated conversations, featuring insights from JamJar, Left Lane, and leading consumer VCs.
Structured networking. Everyone comes back together to mingle and catch the speakers with your questions. Plus curated corners: a shark tank style hot seat with investors, a growth lab to talk paid, funnels and retention with operators from some of the biggest consumer apps out there, and a connection lounge for deeper conversations. Partner booths running their own activations and prizes.
And when the day wraps, there's a secret afterparty waiting. Limited spots, and you'll find out the rest closer to the date.
The whole London consumer crowd will be there.
