How the round really happened. Told by founders, and by the investor who wrote the cheque.
One hour of the real story behind a round, one hour to meet the people who could fund yours. Founders, operators and investors, cocktails in Shoreditch.
After Hours: London kicks off the night before Sifted Summit begins, bringing together founders, operators, and investors in Shoreditch for an evening of cocktails and conversation. The night centers on a founder fireside chat, followed by open networking in a relaxed, high-end setting.
As a sponsor, your brand is woven into the evening itself: signage and branding on-site, a moment in front of the room, and direct face time with attendees who don't usually take a cold pitch.
Guests are drawn from Sifted Summit's own attendee base: founders, operators, and investors already engaged with Europe's tech scene, not a walk-in crowd.
An intimate evening format, not a trade show floor. Sponsors get genuine conversations and a moment in front of the room during the fireside chat.
No booth to staff, no multi-day commitment. Show up, be part of the evening, and follow up on warm conversations afterward.
