Hi! I'm Katie with the team at Ripple Ventures! I host regular founder co-working sessions. These sessions are meant for our portfolio companies, the broader RippleX community and alumni, and friends of the fund to mingle and build incredible ventures together :) if you're getting this, it means you've been a meaningful part of an event we've hosted in the past, and we'd love to dwell with you again <3

The Ripple team will also be around to provide a sounding board and facilitate connections, think of this as very informal office hours! We're also cohosting this session with Elena, an academic fellow from Deep Checks (deeptech community affiliated with Julian Capital). We have a particular interest in seeing founders who are building in hardware (preferably in application to health or climate) for this session.

Note: We intentionally keep these groups small and curated. Only people who have received confirmation on Luma will be admitted to the event. If you're waitlisted, please respect that, and we'd love to have you come to the ones we host in future weeks.

There are a lot of co-working spaces nowadays, so we want to communicate the specific niche we're looking to serve. We're passionate about hosting people who are:

  • Founders

  • Builders/ Tinkerers (who are looking to start a company one day)

Please sign up at least a day before the event, as we need to notify building security ahead of time of guests we're hosting.

What to expect:

  • A supportive and intimate group of around 10 founders you can lean on

  • Light refreshments

  • Call booths (in case during the session, you need to step out for a call)

  • Time with the Ripple team for honestly anything – demo-ing your product, reviewing your pitch deck, connecting you with potential customers etc.

What this is NOT:

  • A networking event. Come with something you want to work on!

  • A place to work on your 9-5 day job (unless you're a founder and already full-time on your company, then of course, come)

For any questions, please text Katie directly (+1 647 330 1156). I am excited to host you all soon xx
