Residentials Vol VII: Founder Fireside & House Party [London Tech Week's Unofficial Closing Party]
For founders, by founders: fireside chat & day party | Powered by London Founder House
We work harder. Let's play harder.
Life as a Founder can be lonely. And the places where we go for connection are mostly stiff and formal. At PLUGGED, we blend serious ambition with serious fun - plugging in and out, in equal measure.
Why only ~work~ from home?
Welcome to the Residentials, a series of founder-focused events run from the fabulous London Founder House.
We start with knowledge-sharing and end with ✨ vibes stacked on vibes ✨
THE AGENDA 📝
PLUG IN (4:30pm → 5:30pm) - Fireside Chat
A cosy (and literal) fireside chat in our living room.
BE BOLD - BET BIG
this fireside brings together two founders who’ve stared down dead ends - and doubled down.
from landing in new cities with no network to all in bets, they’ll share what it takes to make bold moves when the odds aren’t in your favour.
a raw, honest conversation about risk, grit, and betting on yourself when it matters most.
co-founder at Outdid - a company fighting online fraud using cryptography, he was facing impossible odds:
💡 Rejected by 100+ VCs.
💡 Down to their last $1,000.
instead of shutting down, Zvezdin and his co-founder took a wild swing.
they flew to a major Web3 conference, hijacked a whiteboard, and turned it into a fake sponsor’s booth.
the result?
20+ VC meetings and two term sheets in a week, eventually raising $2.5M
from corporate stand-up comedy stages to Silicon Valley boardrooms, he's got a startup story defined by bold bets.
after landing in SF with no network and no clear path, Anthony raised $15M to kickstart CRED - a platform that now uses real-time data on over 200M companies to help teams predict customer behaviour, spot churn risk, and outmanoeuvre the competition - with early traction coming from Premier League and Formula 1 teams.
he’ll share what it means to go all in when you’re down to your last card.
