We close with side events and karaoke, where many of the best conversations continue.

Hot-topic roundtable sessions
Roundtable sessions are designed for active participation, focused on what founders and funds are actually navigating right now. These focused discussions bring together people working on similar challenges or thinking about what’s next, with the goal of sharing experiences, asking real questions, and leaving with perspectives you can actually use.
Meetings & 1:1s
Mashup Day is built to make meetings easy and relevant. Dedicated time throughout the day allows founders and investors to connect intentionally, whether through pre-booked 1:1s or spontaneous conversations.
