  Join us for an informal dinner and drinks at location TBC, providing a focused setting for networking and connection amongst the founders participating in the Management & Fundraising module.
  

• ​20:30 - 22:30: Founders' Board Meetings
  Following dinner, the group will split into separate board meetings (approximately 10 founders per room). The discussions in these rooms will centre around the specific management and fundraising challenges and opportunities identified by the participants earlier in the Big Bang Bada Boom program.

​What is a Founders' Board Meeting Room?

​Within the context of Big Bang Bada Boom, the Founders' Board Meeting Rooms are dedicated spaces where founders can convene in a confidential and supportive environment. These aren't traditional board meetings with investors, but rather facilitated sessions designed for founders to:

• ​Share Experiences: Discuss the real, on-the-ground challenges they are currently facing in scaling their management practices and securing funding.

• ​Learn from Peers: Gain valuable insights and perspectives from fellow founders who are navigating similar growth journeys in their management and fundraising efforts.

• ​Uncover Solutions Together: Through guided discussion and shared experiences, participants can collectively brainstorm and uncover practical solutions to their most pressing management and fundraising issues.

• ​Build a Stronger Network: Forge deeper connections with other founders within the cohort, creating a valuable support system within the management and fundraising domain.

​Date: 03/07/2025
Location: TBC
Target Audience: Startup founders strictly scaling (not early-stage)
