Rare Founders’ Post

Hate to tell you this… If you didn’t attend the Rare Founders kick-off event for 2025 at Blue Marlin Ibiza - you missed out! (Ask Vasily he missed it🤪) For the first time since RF has been going, I had the pleasure of taking the reins and hosting our open mic pitching + networking event in Vasily's absence. A huge thank you to Rob & Juliette for being the best A team to smash out the event with me! With over 200 of you coming by, it truly surprised me that over 1/3 of you were new peeps, all expressing your love for the event & the atmosphere that surrounds it. However, it’s always so nice to see familiar faces like a huge reunion after Christmas. ❤️🔥 An even bigger surprise for founders was that after each pitch, we sent them next door to the Virgin Hotel to record their pitch for Simon Squibb & Richard Branson ‘Elevator of Dreams’. We would have sent 45-50 people over there in hopes that their dreams could be seen and heard! (BTW, some of these founders had only ever pitched for the first time that night before we sent them to record- Bravo to you all 💪) Plus, I even had to do my pitch for RF to explain what we were going to do… all we dreamed of was for Simon & Richard to join London’s Largest Demo Day 🤞let’s see if they can make our dreams come true, whilst we continue to help you all with your dreams in the #startup ecosystem 🔥 Thank you all for continuing to inspire me, your devotion and dedication to trying to make a difference in the world are unmatched 💫 See you in February, for a new style of event- keep your eyes peeled 😍 #RareFounders #Openmic #startup #community #networking #london #londonevents
