Moving forward

+ weekly list of handpicked startup events for founders and investors in London

Keep moving forward

Hey folks 👋,

It looks like us in the UK has missed out on the eclipse this year. The next one is in about 2 years now. Well, let's hope you are not going to miss out on some of the amazing events that take place in London over the next 2 weeks.

Many of you are new to this newsletter this week as we had over 1,000 new subscribers that came with Seven who officially joined Rare Founders as my co-founder. This newsletter contains my weekly selection of some great startup events in London for founders and investors. Please unsubscribe if you do not want to receive it again.

It’s just 12 days left before our big event. Super excited but also looking forward to the day when I can go to sleep without worrying about things like catering, sponsors, tickets, speakers, etc. Our efforts have proven to be super successful as we get more and more interest from investors and sponsors. Where were they all 4-8 weeks ago?! :-) But better late than never! Hope to see some of you on the 22nd. See more updates below.
