Event Overview
A curated, industry-focused networking experience for founders and leaders building consumer-facing businesses. Limited to 30 participants, this mixer is designed to prioritise meaningful conversations, overcrowded rooms and rushed introductions.
The format allows founders to exchange real-world insights, discuss everyday challenges—from distribution and margins to branding and scale—and build connections that lead to practical collaborations, not just exchanged visiting cards.
This is a networking-first event with no speakers or panels. The entire focus is on conversations between peers.
