Where Founders Ship & Investors Scout | Demos & Mingle
Shipyard invites you to an evening where builders take the stage and capital meets conviction.
Hosted by the Shipyard team and supported by Outlast Fund, FIRSTPICK, Inovo, and Practica Capital, this is a highly curated gathering of standout founders and sharp investors, the people you actually want in the room.
It’s the un-official Day 0 TechChill kickoff.
⚓ What’s Happening
19:00 - Doors Open
Arrive early. Grab a drink. Meet the room.
19:30 - Shipyard Demos
10 freshly minted AI-native companies take the stage.
Some are raising. Some are proudly bootstrapped.
Some will share what they learned building at the frontier.
All are shipping.
20:30 - Afterparty Begins
Investor × Founder Mingle
Drinks. DJ. Hot dogs.
Conversations that turn into rounds, hires, pilots, and friendships.
23:00 - Close
This isn’t a mass event.
It’s a curated mix of founders who ship and investors who scout.
If you’re building, backing, or both, this is your room.
See you at the Shipyard.
Fueled by our drinks’ partners NURME & Ārpus Brewing Co

Shipyard is a seasonal AI hacker-space in Riga where new teams form and rebuild fast through peer-to-peer learning and weekly shipping cycles — not an accelerator, but a closed loop of making, breaking, and rebuilding until something useful crawls out.
