Unofficial Web Summit Founder Co-Working Lounge by Capita.io
Hosted at Capita’s Gastown Hacker House
In town for Web Summit and need a break from the chaos? We’re opening up our Gastown hacker house for a small group of early-stage founders to cowork, recharge, and have real conversations with others who are actually building.
❌ No panels
❌ No pitches
✅ Just coffee, snacks, and real talk about what’s working, what’s not, and how people are figuring things.
💼 Why You Should Come:
🧠 Fundraising strategy from founders who’ve raised from top-tier VCs (Drive, Hyperplane, Fresh Founders)
🧾 Equity structure & legal ops best practices you won’t get from Twitter or generic lawyers
🤝 Peer intros to high-achieving founders also in the trenches
👀 Feedback loops on your raise, stack, or GTM from people who’ve actually done it
🧘♀️ A quiet space to catch your breath, catch up on work, or hold meetings away from the noise
💡 We’ll also be sharing what we’ve learned along the way:
Capita is backed by top-tier VCs like Drive Capital, Hyperplane, and Fresh Founders. We run legal ops for fast-growing, VC-backed startups, and we’re happy to share what actually works when it comes to raising, structuring equity, and scaling as a founder.
⚠️ Spots are limited. This is an application-only event.
We’re curating for founder-event fit to keep the vibe high signal. If that’s you, we’d love to have you.
🕘 Drop in anytime from 9am to 5pm
📬 Location is in Gastown. Address will be shared with selected founders.
