Nairobi's first Pitch Night. This is what you're walking into. That's the room in Dubai. Same organisers, same format Nairobi is getting: virtual speed networking in the morning, live pitches on a real stage in the evening. It already runs close to a full house at its 80-seat cap. Nairobi opens the same room here, and this is the first edition on record.
What's Included ✅ Morning Virtual Speed Networking (meet 6 - 9 founders 1-on-1) ✅ Evening In-person meetup ✅ Chance to pitch live on stage (10 selected at random) ✅ Founders-Only WhatsApp Group ✅ Welcome Drink + Popcorn
🌐 Morning: 11:30 AM to 12:40 PM (EAT) Warm up with Virtual Speed Networking Meet 6 - 9 founders 1-on-1 before you meet anyone in person. By the time you walk into the evening, you're not meeting strangers, you're reuniting with people you already spoke to that morning. 🎲 10 founders will be randomly selected during the virtual session to pitch live on stage in the evening (if you choose to pitch, for Tech Startups only).
🍹 Evening: 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM (EAT) In-Person Meetup: Pickled Cafe & Bar Reconnect with your morning matches and expand your network. The goal? Partners, collaborators, and warm investor intros. ✨ Live Pitches: Watch the 10 selected founders pitch live. Rate them 1 to 10 and help reward the most promising founder. 🏆 The Prizes: Top pick wins 3 months, 100% off Founder Connects Residency, plus a seat in a squad of 10 founders building together inside a Residency of 300+ founders already working across Dubai and the wider Gulf. Second and third place get 50% and 25% off any package. Learn more: www.founderconnects.com/residency
