London Founder Exchange II // IT'S TIME TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER Six of London's finest founders share their most recent revelations Tuesday, February 7 from 6:30 - 9:30 pm The startup world's most interesting and influential stories will never come out in a press release. The lessons that matter are shared between peers over beers. The founder's exchange is where it happens. This event features a half dozen top London founders speaking for 10 minutes apiece, preceded and followed by abundant booze and a wonderful crowd of 150 local entrepreneurs and innovators. Fun, fast-paced, and varied, the founder's exchange is a whirlwind tour of the community's most impactful lessons learned, plus plenty of time to exchange your own. Praise for the previous London Founder Exchange An excerpt from a full writeup of last event's speakers: "A collection of New Yorkers and Silicon Valleyites swaggered into our place last night... I felt like PG Wodehouse standing next to Miles Davis. Not only did the cast assembled by General Assembly demonstrate their effortless brand of startup-cool that has made them such a respected mainstay on their own shores, but they also exhibited a passionate, refreshing and seemingly unlimited knowledge of their subject areas." I hope you'll join us as we make this a London startup tradition. Speakers Ed Cooke, Memrise Ed is one of the world's leading practitioners and teachers of memory techniques (TEDx talk here).
