Founders · Networking
Hosted by UK Startup Events
The December edition of the Founders Meetup London series, run by UK Startup Events as a festive party. Open networking with colour-coded badges so founders, investors and service providers can find each other quickly.
The evening runs from 17:30 arrival, with community shoutouts at 18:40 where people say what they're building and where they need help, then a 45-minute fireside chat with founders from different industries and stages at 19:00. Open networking and drinks follow until about 20:30. Hosts are serial founders Selby Cary (Mapify Logistics), Ted (DUKU AI) and Megan (Aether Legals); CMS equIP supports. Tickets start at about 5 pounds; investor and partner tickets need approval. Exact address is shared on registration.
the shoutout slot makes this more useful than a standard mixer, because you ask for what you need in front of the room. Best for early-stage founders and anyone hunting for co-founders or first hires.
