A relaxed City-of-London networking evening pairing early- and growth-stage tech founders with the service providers who help them scale, spanning marketing, legal, finance and software development.

Part game-design book club, part hands-on workshop: play a featured indie game, dissect its systems, then build paper prototypes inspired by it. A relaxed evening for anyone curious about game design and creative technology.
A weekend run and coffee for London founders and startup operators — a friendly, recurring format that turns a morning jog in Regent's Park into genuine peer networking.
A one-day AI Tinkerers London hackathon where builders create autonomous agents that forecast a real company's earnings — revenue and EPS — then go head-to-head with Wall Street consensus, no human analysts allowed. A $10,000 cash pot is split between accuracy (scored once companies report) and design (best agent architecture and aesthetics, judged on the day), plus $8.5k in OpenAI credits. Runs 9am–7pm in central London with data, API credits and tooling provided; open to engineers, quants and AI builders — no finance background needed. Presented with Primer, OpenStocks and OpenAI.
