Founders' Night | Hosted by Pivot Global, Ethereum Foundation, Optimum, Goldsky & Protocol Labs

​Join us for a relaxed evening during EthCC[8] in sunny Cannes — co-hosted by Pivot Global, Ethereum Foundation, Optimum, Goldsky, and Protocol Labs.

​Set on the French Riviera, this gathering brings together founders, crypto-native fund managers, and Ethereum-aligned contributors for an informal night of high-signal conversations, new connections, and good vibes. Come for the drinks and bites — stay for the people you’ll meet.

​Whether you’re new to the ecosystem or a familiar face, this evening is about bringing thoughtful people together — no panels, no stage, just a chance to connect with fellow builders, funders, and ecosystem stewards.

​This is a private event with limited capacity.
🕔 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm
⏱ Two time slots for selected founders
📨 Applications will be reviewed, and invites extended based on fit and availability

​Each invite admits one guest. This is a strictly invite-only event.
