โ๏ธ 2025 Summer Mixer: Let's Shake Things Up ๐น
โOne night. No passengers. Just the people building whatโs next.
โThis isnโt another summer drinks thing.
Itโs the room after the room.
Where decisions get made. Moves get planned. And the future shows up early.
โWelcome to the Approval-Only Summer Mixer.
A high-energy gathering for global thinkers, bold founders, and the quiet powerbrokers shaping whatโs next for UK tech and beyond.
If youโve been invited, itโs for a reason.
โItโs sharp. Itโs curated. Itโs not for everyone ๐.
โ
โ๐ Why Attend?
โ๐ Think global, act local (but actually do it)
We talk a lot about scaling globally. Letโs get in a room with the people actually doing it, and learn from their scars, wins, and wild bets.
โ๐ง Real insights. No fluff.
Youโll hear from the founders and investors moving at speed, with lessons you wonโt get on LinkedIn.
โโก A mid-year reset for big thinkers
Sometimes the best way to go faster is to pause, look around, and recalibrate with sharp minds who see the world like you do.
โ๐ฅ Great drinks. Better conversations.
Weโre keeping it tight, high-vibe, and low-key elite. The kind of night that starts with a panel and ends with plans that change everything.
โ
โ๐ Who Should Come?
โ๐ Founders chasing global scale
Not just thinking big, building big. Especially those whoโve had to fight for every inch.
โ๐ธ Investors who back ambition early
Youโre not here for consensus. Youโre here to meet the ones who move before the crowd does.
โ๐ Ecosystem builders and boundary pushers
From the UK to the world, weโre interested in people changing whatโs possible, and where.
โ๐คซ The quiet operators behind the loud success stories
You know who you are.
