​BOO! 🎃

​Get excited for Founder Fright Night ghouls and guys! This will be our first themed Lepak House event. If you don't know what Lepak House is, we are a hacker house based in Jalan Besar. But much more than that, we're just founders who love to host casual events for other founders. We believe most startup events are too formal and uptight. We're here to change that by fostering a community where founders support other founders in an open and vulnerable environment. At all Lepak House events, we say no to business cards and hello to friendly founder vibes.

​🎃 What's this event about?

​Where: Our cozy backyard in Jalan Besar (5 min from Jalan Besar MRT). Actual location will be sent to approved attendees.

​What: First of all, this is a Halloween event so come in your costumes (optional, ofc)! Keep in mind that it will be in our backyard tho.

​Second of all, this will be a space and time to share investor horror stories with each other. It is no secret that investors talk about founders all the time. So let's turn the tables tonight. We believe founders deserve all the information they can get about investors when fundraising.

• ​Predatory term sheets, jialat douchebag investors, bad practices, let's hear em'!

• ​Reveal the investor or don't, it's up to you.

​Always wanted to candidly share horror stories about your fundraising experience with other founders and build deeper connections with each other? Now's the time.

​House Rules:

• ​You will be respectful of founders who choose to share their stories. Be empathetic and compassionate. You're all here to support each other.

• ​We're all for radical candor. We believe that's how strong connections are made.

• ​Chatham House Rules apply. If you don't know what that is, click here.

​Come vulnerable, go home with more friends and juicy stories.

​🎃 Who is this for?

​Founders and only founders. You must either be fundraising or have fundraised before.

​Due to the nature of this event, we will strictly not be allowing any investors, salespeople, consultants, etc. We will also be vetting attendees more carefully this time.

​We're not even inviting our own investors...

​🎃 Potluck style

​Bring something for everyone to share! If you're not sure what to bring, just bring about 1-2 pax worth of food. Cups, plates, etc. will be provided.
