The Founder's Reading Circle
Founders never get to switch off, but they do deserve to pause. To feel inspired, give in to joy, without the meeting notifications, and just turn a page.
A room full of builders, unplugging to engage with the written word.
This is for you if: you're a founder, builder, or operator who misses reading for pleasure, and wants to sit with the pages in the quiet.
What to expect: Bring your own reading material - words that spark joy and curiosity. Books, magazines, kindles, essays, research papers welcome. No term sheets please.
We silently read for 45 mins, and then join the Sharing Circle - a space to reflect and listen to everyone's experiences and reading recommendations. Sharing optional, over a special snack and coolers from our food and beverage partners — #nowcooking :)
What you'll leave with: a special HappyStoryNook curated reading list, a little circle to share notes, and hopefully a fond Sunday morning memory to look back on.
Hosted by: Aastha Sharma, founder of HappyStoryNook, Bengaluru's happy place for books, taste and culture - this edition is exclusively curated, in partnership with Basecamp.
This event is part of Basecamp, a community-powered tech week in Bengaluru bringing founders, builders, and operators together. Basecamp is free for the community and powered by the community.
