A one day summit for fundraising founders ⋆

What to Expect

Founders Camp is all about inspiration, networking, and genuine value-add content, from the people you want to hear from. Unicorn founders, angels, actively deploying VCs, and experts.

We call it an “anti-conference” because it isn’t stuffy. It’s high energy and designed 100% for fundraising founders.

On 4th April 2025, we’ll be hosting our 6th Founders Camp summit, for 100 fundraising founders.

About the Day

Does it cost anything?

There's a small fee of £30 just so we can ensure attendance. It doesn't cover how much it costs to run the event, it's just to make sure we have accurate numbers for the day. If you can't cover it, just message us and we'll see what we can do.

Is it a formal conference?

No, no, no. This in what we refer to as an "anti-conference conference." Wear what you want. Just come prepared to connect with interesting people, and learn.

Location?

Techspace Shoreditch, 25 Luke Street EC2A 4DS.
