⚡ COME AND GET MEGA CONNECTED
BORN UP: THE IBW LUNCH CONNECT
Today · 1:30–2:00 PM · Fairmont Mumbai
30 minutes. Let’s make hundreds of connections.
We know there’s a bit to read here, but please give it a moment—we really believe this can benefit you and your community. 💙
VCs, investors, founders, builders, creators, sponsors, students and first-timers—come meet the people around you.
📍 FIND US WHERE YOU CAME IN
Just outside the main entrance, beside Registration and VIP Registration. Look for the massive BORN.LIVE sign.
📸 Grab a photo with founder Tim Kinslow, share it on your socials and tag @BornDotLive.
💙 FIND YOUR BAND—WE GAVE IT TO YOU FOR THIS MOMENT
Check your IBW merch bag for your BORN NFC wristband, sticker or keychain. Come ready to use it!
Hold it against your phone’s NFC reading point, open the link and sign up. Add your Telegram and/or LinkedIn profile, and you’re ready to connect.
White BORN band? The NFC chip is under the “O”. Bring it slowly to your phone’s NFC reading point and hold it still.
No NFC-compatible phone or device? Sign up at https://born.live and use your in-app QR code. Your connection QR refreshes after each use.
🌍 BUILT WITH YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITIES IN MIND
We’re building BORN.LIVE to make it easier to meet people, share who you are and keep in touch—with India’s communities at the heart of this launch, and connections reaching far beyond.
Your free BORN profile brings your links and connections together:
🤝 Tap or scan to connect with someone you meet.
📲 Share your profile and watch your human connection count grow.
💬 Keep talking through in-app messages and pictures.
🌐 Discover people through your growing network and request to connect.
🎁 Earn BORN CREDITS when people join through your shared profile.
Your connection count may start small. This is the beginning! Every person you meet helps build a network you can return to for collaborations, outreach, job hunting and introductions.
Think a little Linktree, Telegram, WhatsApp and LinkedIn, brought together by a rapid connection tap.
🚀 YOU’RE PART OF THE BEGINNING
This is the birth of being BORN ONLINE. You’ll be able to watch the network grow outwards from you and the connections you make here in Mumbai.
Take those connections with you to Devcon 8 and beyond.
🎁 FREE LIMITED-EDITION BORN NFC CARD
Every attendee at BORN UP receives a first-edition BORN NFC card collectible.
🙌 CAME YESTERDAY? COME AGAIN!
Meet more people and grow your connections. You’re our first community experts and ambassadors now! If you’ve already connected using BORN, help someone new get started and show them how it works.
🎟️ NEED AN IBW PASS?
