Founders Fire
A Night Around the Fire for Founders Building the Next Era
50 top AI & Web3 founders. A private garden in the heart of Lisbon. A roast by day, a VC fireside by firelight, and conversations that last after dark.
We carefully curate the room: operators building AI-native and Web3 companies, alongside the investors who actively back exceptional founders at the Series A stage. No badges. No panels for the sake of panels. Just meaningful conversations in a beautiful setting.
