About this event

FUEL Manchester's breakfast panel at No.1 Circle Square, sponsored by GM Business Growth Hub and Nybble with support from Bruntwood SciTech, built around founders giving growth advice rather than a keynote. The confirmed line-up includes Sam White, founder and chief executive of Stella Insurance, Thomas Keighley, co-founder and chief executive of urfuture, Sid Sethi of Specscart, Fergal O'Connor of Buymedia, Phil McCabe of Hybrid Solutions Group, Hannah Smith of Red Rock, Gabriel Erinle of GAME FM, Janine Smith of GM Business Growth Hub and Ram Gupta of Nybble, alongside former England rugby league head coach Shaun Wane. The panel is free and open; a second part puts 25 selected businesses into masterclass pods with experts, by separate application. Why go: nine operating founders on one morning panel, free, before work. Best for early-stage founders in Greater Manchester weighing a growth push.
