Complete Details

In an era of rapid technological shifts and fluctuating market dynamics, the "rules" of building a successful venture are being rewritten. The Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs of the UK, in collaboration with the Stanford Alumni Association, invites you to an exclusive in-person panel discussion in the heart of London. This event is designed to cut through the noise of the current venture capital landscape and surface actionable insights for founders and investors alike.

Our panel features leading Venture Capitalists from Dawn Capital, Hummingbird Ventures, and MMC, who have been behind some of Europe’s most iconic tech successes including Revolut, Synthesia, and Kraken. We will explore how AI is altering the investment thesis, the shift from "growth at all costs" to sustainable unit economics, and how London-based startups can maintain a competitive edge on a global scale. Attendees will gain a unique, unfiltered perspective on what investors are looking for in 2026 and how to navigate the complexities of modern fundraising. The evening will conclude with a networking reception, providing a rare opportunity to connect with the Stanford innovation ecosystem in London.
