Mike Butcher and Ana Williams
Let’s go! Pathfounders will be launching a series of events next year, driven by the hottest topics in tech, startups, and tech investing today. You name it, we’ll be doing an event about it. And we want you to join us.
To support this, we’ve appointed Ana Williams, founder of The Hook Studio, to put together events we think you will love, as well as bring new voices to the ecosystem.
In other words, we are now formally open to commercial partnerships.
Ana will be handling all Pathfounders commercial relationships, including online and offline partnerships.
You can contact her at: ana [@] pathfounders.com
As well as our news, analysis, newsletter columns, and soon-to-launch Podcast, we are ready to ‘get creative’ with partners on the events side.
(In addition, Ana will also be representing me personally, as a Speaker, Moderator and MC at events and conferences. More about what I do can be found here).
Partner with us
Alongside our news, analysis, newsletter, and soon-to-launch podcast, Pathfounders will produce a range of carefully curated events, including:
• Industry mixers
• Investor-only circles
• Founder-only circles
• Executive dinners
• An annual flagship conference
We are open to working creatively with partners on the events side, including co-designed formats, sponsorships, and bespoke activations — always aligned with the Pathfounders brand and audience.
A range of event formats
Our industry mixers will combine content sessions, roundtable discussions, and high-quality networking, with a strong emphasis on relevance and curation.
For instance, many of our events will be run under Chatham House Rules, encouraging open and candid discussion, and all will be highly-curated for content and attendees.
We will also be launching a series of Live, in-person, podcast recordings featuring a curated audience and the opportunity to network IRL afterwards.
Separately from our editorial activity, Pathfounders will also offer brand consulting services, working with companies that want to better understand and engage the tech and startup ecosystem.
Going International
Pathfounders is designed from the ground up to be an international platform. It might be ‘made’ out of Europe, but the tech industry is global, and we aim to produce internationally relevant journalism. That means we won’t be limiting ourselves to events just in Europe, but open to discussions about events wherever it makes strategic and editorial sense, and where there is clear value for our audience and partners.
Pathfounders Membership Network
Lastly, Pathfounders is building a curated membership for founders, investors, and operators who want stronger networks, deeper insight, and more meaningful collaboration across the European, US, and global tech ecosystem.
“Pathfounders:Network” will be a pre-vetted community of relevant professionals, offering, (among other things):
• A members-only platform for discussion and connection
• Access to industry briefings and research
• Expert-led masterclasses
• Early access to Pathfounders insight and reports
• Exclusive member-only events, hosted by Pathfounders journalists
• Early access and discounts to Live events
Pathfounders:Network is being developed in line with Pathfounders’ editorial values and ethos, while remaining fully independent of editorial decision-making and coverage.
