Founders Circle: Founders Truth

Founders Circle: Founders Truth Series

A founder-only evening focused on real conversations, shared experience, and meaningful connections.

Building a company can be incredibly isolating and most founder events are built around being pitched to, sold to, talked at.

Founders Circle by Atara is built to be the opposite.

This is a space to hear openly from founders who are currently navigating the same challenges as you and to connect with, learn from and share experiences with peers, in a way that goes beyond connecting on LinkedIn.

The Founders Truth Series

We bring together a curated group of founders, operators, and investors for an honest conversation about what building a startup actually looks like behind the scenes.

Expect:

Practical learnings from founders in the trenches

Open discussion about the realities of scaling

Insight you won’t hear on podcasts or panels

Space to build genuine, long-standing relationships with peers

You'll find no posturing, no performances and no one trying to sell you anything.

Just founders sharing what’s working, what isn’t and crucially, what they wish they’d known earlier!

Agenda:

17:00 – Registration and welcome drinks

17.45 – Panel discussion 1 and Q&A

18:30 – Panel discussion 2 and Q&A

19.30 - Drinks & Founder Networking

Hear from:

Philippa Brown - Founder & Co-CEO of Elyos

Markus Andreasson - Co-founder & CTO of Lightbringer

Yiannis Maos - Co-Founder of Unloq

Sophie Bruce - Founder & CEO of MOLO

Leo Crowe - Co-Founder & CEO of Souk

Capacity is limited and all Founders Circle events go way over capacity, register early to secure your place.

All registrations are reviewed to maintain a genuinely founder-first environment.
