Land a strategy that actually makes sense — and moves you forward.

Whether you're just starting out, scaling up, or feeling stuck in complexity, this 2-day strategy workshop is designed to help you get unstuck and aligned.

Join a diverse group of founders, teams, and change-makers in a hands-on journey to:

✅ A clarified direction for your startup or project
✅ Tools for co-creating strategy with your team
✅ A structured, human-centered method to prioritize & decide
✅ Deeper alignment between vision and action
✅ Peer learning from other founders in the community
✅ A copy of Thryving Strategy: A Human-Centered Guide to Strategic Clarity, Co-Creation & Adaptive Leadership

You can join solo or with your co-founders. The process works even if your strategy is “a mess” right now. Expect learning, co-creation, and fresh energy to move forward.

Come alone or with your team. You’ll leave with a strategy you can actually use.

Join Gin & Tech at INCUBA for an engaging evening where early-stage startups present their ideas to a panel of mentors, investors, corporates, and specialists. The event kicks off with a focused pitching session, followed by G&Ts and informal networking.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Co-founder Nights is a curated gathering for people who think like founders – but haven’t yet found the right project or the right people to build it with. It’s part chemistry test, part conversation starter.

​We bring together experienced profiles – from ex-founders and early startup employees to corporate talents itching to break free. Everyone in the room is handpicked for their potential to co-found something meaningful.

​Two early-stage spinouts will be in the room, both looking for a commercial co-founder. But this night isn’t just about them. It’s about everyone else too. The chance to meet, talk, and see what happens when smart, ambitious people collide.

‍

PROGRAM

‍

16:00 – Welcome & Warm-up
We kick things off with a quick welcome and a short intro on co-founder matchmaking opportunities

​17:00 – Matchmaking Challenge – Mutual intros across the room

​17:10 – Breakout Sessions Begin
You’ll explore two startup cases

​18:00 – Group Reflections & Insights
We bring everyone back together to share what’s emerged from the sessions.

​18:15 – Casual Networking & Grab-a-Sandwich – 1 minute “i need statements”

​Because great startups don’t just need good ideas – they need the right team.
