RareFounders Event: Igniting Passions and Opportunities in London's Startup Scene 🔥
The RareFounders networking and pitching event last night was nothing short of a phenomenon. The air was electrified at Park Row, thanks to the incredible setting and Matthew Prowse's unwavering support. 🎇
Saying goodbye to my corporate life has opened a world where ambition and passion burn bright in the hearts of the startup community. The concentration of eager, innovative, and driven individuals last night was truly inspiring, and I'm humbled to be at the epicenter of this movement.
Gratitude is due in spades to Anthony Rose, SeedLegals, and our amazing volunteers—Cynthia Kesington, Raushan Irgaliyeva, Rob Woodhead, Samuel Klacman, Vish Burgul, Greg Mccallum, Charlie Gleeson—who have been the pillars of support from the very beginning.
A lifesaver in the form of Steven Mooney from FundMyPitch ensured the night's success, turning a near-cancellation into an evening filled with DC-themed drinks and vibrant pitches. 🍻
The stats from last night are a testament to what we can achieve together:
500 individuals registered to attend
200 passionate attendees filled the venue
60% were founders, each with a vision to share
15% were investors, eager to discover and nurture talent
19 bold founders took the stage to pitch
All of this was accomplished without a budget, powered purely by love for the startup community. ❤️
We're already gearing up for the next event, which is shaping up to promise even more connections and opportunities, especially for investors. So keep your eyes peeled! 😎
Public pitching might be nerve-wracking, but last week's event showcased the resilience and daring of founders. Here's a cheer for the 20 founders who took up the challenge, including:
