​Join us for a focused day of coworking with early-stage founders, operators, and builders on the fringes of Turing Fest. Whether you’re already building, just getting started, or seriously thinking about taking the leap—this is a space for the serious.

​Agenda

• ​🧑‍💻 Coworking (10:00–12:00)
  Drop in anytime during the morning to get some work done, connect with others, and soak up the energy in the room.

• ​💥 Lightning pitches (12:30)
  Optional, quick ~90 second intros and updates on what folks are working on. A great way to meet collaborators, get feedback, and share momentum.

• ​🔥 Fireside Chat with Rory Buchanan, CTO of AskVinny (1:00)
  Hear from one of Antler’s Edinburgh-based portfolio founders on building product-first from day one.

​Brunch will be served during the session.

​💬 Office hours with Antler

​Throughout the day, Antler team members will be available for informal chats, feedback, or just to hear what you’re building.
