When: Wednesday 22nd April 2026 | Where: London at Salisbury House, near Liverpool Street Station | Time: 8.30am - 10.30am
Purpose
A breakfast panel in London for founders (and their advisors) building companies in the Technology Services space.
Deliver a practical, candid forum focused on real founder experiences.
Help attendees learn concrete lessons about growth, strategic trade-offs, and pre-exit priorities.
Core themes
Growth: what approaches worked, scaling inflection points, and how growth strategies evolved pre-exit.
Trade-offs: decisions on product, market focus, hiring, capital structure, and culture - what was sacrificed and why.
Hindsight: pivotal moments that shaped outcomes, signals founders wish they had acted on sooner, and mistakes to avoid.
Exit mechanics and timing: considerations that influence valuation, buyer selection, and timing decisions.
Post-exit reflections: personal and organisational transitions, retention of talent, and how founders’ priorities change.
