Residentials Vol VII: Founder Fireside & House Party [London Tech Week's Unofficial Closing Party]

​For founders, by founders: fireside chat & day party | Powered by London Founder House

​We work harder. Let's play harder.

​Life as a Founder can be lonely. And the places where we go for connection are mostly stiff and formal. At PLUGGED, we blend serious ambition with serious fun - plugging in and out, in equal measure.

​Why only ~work~ from home?

​Welcome to the Residentials, a series of founder-focused events run from the fabulous London Founder House.

​We start with knowledge-sharing and end with ✨ vibes stacked on vibes ✨

​THE AGENDA 📝

​PLUG IN (4:30pm → 5:30pm) - Fireside Chat

​A cosy (and literal) fireside chat in our living room.

​BE BOLD - BET BIG

​​this fireside brings together two founders who’ve stared down dead ends - and doubled down.

​​from landing in new cities with no network to all in bets, they’ll share what it takes to make bold moves when the odds aren’t in your favour.

​​a raw, honest conversation about risk, grit, and betting on yourself when it matters most.

​​Zvezdin Besarabov

​​co-founder at Outdid - a company fighting online fraud using cryptography, he was facing impossible odds:

​​💡 Rejected by 100+ VCs.

​​💡 Down to their last $1,000.

​​instead of shutting down, Zvezdin and his co-founder took a wild swing.

​​they flew to a major Web3 conference, hijacked a whiteboard, and turned it into a fake sponsor’s booth.

​​the result?

​​20+ VC meetings and two term sheets in a week, eventually raising $2.5M

​​Anthony Meir

​​from corporate stand-up comedy stages to Silicon Valley boardrooms, he's got a startup story defined by bold bets.

​​after landing in SF with no network and no clear path, Anthony raised $15M to kickstart CRED - a platform that now uses real-time data on over 200M companies to help teams predict customer behaviour, spot churn risk, and outmanoeuvre the competition - with early traction coming from Premier League and Formula 1 teams.

​​he’ll share what it means to go all in when you’re down to your last card.
