Here’s how it works
Founders will pitch fast (3 mins), take unfiltered feedback from our investor panel. After that, the mic flips to the audience. You vote. One founder wins. And the rest walk away sharper than before.
This event is strictly curated
We vet every application. Only 100 people get in (60/20/20 split founders/investors/ecosystem). We prioritise AI founders who are post-MVP and pre-revenue, or further. If you’re building, operating or backing real startups, you’re our kind of person.
This isn’t for clout. It’s for community.
Bring your best self, your sharpest ideas and your real questions. This is the kind of room where conversations turn into co-founder invites, pitch decks get shared over drinks and investors make warm intros because they believe in what you're building.
The vibe? Real. Honest. High-signal.
And yes, the drinks are on us.

This event is backed by The London Network — a raw, radically honest startup community that gives real founders the stage. We don’t do startup theatre. We don’t care about hype. We care about hustle.
About Perplexity AI Fellowship

One ask
Please don’t ghost. If you apply and get a ticket, show up. No-shows hurt the quality of the room and affect your chances of attending future events. We’re building a high-trust community here. Let’s keep it that way.
Let’s make this a night worth building for.

Dress code is smart business casual. No sports wear and tracksuits as you probably won’t get in.
