Innovate. Collaborate. Build the Future.

TL;DR Join us on march 8 - 9 for THE builder's event of the year in Oxford, run by the best of the best in the startup world. (Coding experience welcome, not necessary)

Event Description

Backed by top-notch European founders (Fabian @ SLAY + Din @ Buena) and startup investors (Balderton Capital + Hummingbird VC), this is one of a series of exclusive builder's events at global top-tier universities. Join us on March 8 - 9 to see for yourself how startups are built. If you're inspired, come build something of your own! (i.e. Hackathon time - read the perks list below.)

No team? We'll help with that.

Don't know how to code? Lovable has given us access to their AI-enabled no-code software engineer for free.

If you want to build the next thing to be used by world, this is your chance. Startup experts will be sitting down with you to figure out the best path forward.

We are expecting a full house, all you need to do is register here and show up on the day! Lunch will be provided on both days.
