THE LOCAL: A Rooftop Brunch for Founders, Funders & Friends
No panels. No pitch decks. Just stunning views, great food, and the people building what’s next.
THE LOCAL is a rooftop brunch for founders, funders, and friends, hosted by LO:TECH, Veris and Stake Capital Group.
Set high above the coastline in Cannes, we're back for the second year with a curated gathering designed for founders to chew the fat with the people backing them, without the noise, the pitch decks, or the panels nobody is really listening to.
This is for the ones who are actually building.
Whether you’re launching a new protocol, navigating your next raise, looking for collaborators, or just need some decent food (inc. awesome seafood platter), rosé wine or just a strong coffee to start the day, you’re in good company.
This event last year had over 2.5k applicants, so the guest list was a highly curated mix of founders, builders, and venture funds.
