Founder Drinks
The London Haynes Boone team invites you to an evening of champagne, craft beers, and freshly prepared momos (dumplings) at the Summer installation of our quarterly event series exclusively for Founders.
This relaxed, informal gathering offers a space for Founders to connect, exchange ideas, and share experiences over great food and drinks. We look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be an enjoyable and inspiring evening.
We are excited to welcome Billy Fox from Active Partners and Dave Haynes from FOV Ventures as our 'Resident VCs' for the evening - a role that we rotate between VC managers at each event, with the aim of introducing you to London’s key VC players, what they invest in and what they can offer start-ups and Founders.
We are also delighted to partner with our sponsors for the event: Amplifi Solutions, CSC, Briffa and Six Berries.
To build on the growing popularity of our regular Founder Drinks events, we will also be running some content based training sessions for our Founder / Startup community in the future. If you’d be interested (diary permitting) in attending these sessions, please indicate this when registering.
We hope to see you there!
The London Haynes Boone Investment Management Team
