About this Event
Big companies have the customers, the data and the budget. Startups have the speed. This is how you get both.
Some of the best new products of the last decade were built inside large companies by people who acted like founders: small teams, real customers early, and the nerve to ship before the steering committee met. Most corporate innovation never gets that far.
What you'll get
A practical playbook for building like a founder inside a big organisation
Honest stories from intrapreneurs and corporate venture builders: what worked and what got killed
Peers from product, innovation and venture teams across London to meet
