London, Wednesday, August 5

Join us for an exclusive summer evening of drinks, conversation and high-quality networking overlooking The Shard and London’s South Bank.
The Pathfounders Summer Party will bring together a carefully curated group of founders, investors and experienced operators from across the European technology ecosystem.
The evening will also mark the official launch of Pathfounders Network, a new, founder-first community designed to create meaningful connections without the noise, sales pitches, performative AI slop or algorithmic clutter of traditional professional networks and social media platforms.
