Inside the AI Founder Pitch & Roundtable Night hosted by SuLe and Brown Rudnick

On April 30th, SuLe and Brown Rudnick brought together over 100 founders, investors, lawyers, and operators for an evening centered around meaningful conversation and collaboration within the AI ecosystem.

Hosted at Home House Studio, the AI Founder Pitch & Roundtable Night was intentionally designed to move away from the traditional startup event format. Rather than panels or keynote sessions, the evening focused on active participation, founder pitches, and small-group discussions led by investors and senior industry figures.

The event welcomed Seed and Series A founders alongside attendees from firms including MMC Ventures, Syndicate Room, Cloudberry Ventures, Antler, Sie Ventures, Lloyds Banking Group, and Haatch.

The evening featured:

• 8 AI founder pitches
• Simultaneous themed roundtable discussions
• Founder-led voting for the top pitches of the night
• Networking over food and drinks

Each roundtable was deliberately kept intimate to encourage open discussion and meaningful engagement between attendees.

Congratulations to the founders selected by the room:

• First place: Mabel Chu (WPARK)
• Second place: Victoria Peppiatt (Hey Savi)
• Third place: Hugh Craigie Halkett (stampfree.ai)

At SuLe, we believe founder events should offer more than surface-level networking. Our goal was to create a space where founders, investors, and advisors could engage in thoughtful, practical conversations and build meaningful connections.

The feedback following the event reinforced exactly that, with many attendees sharing that it was one of the most engaging and well-organised founder events they had attended.

A special thank you to Neil Foster and the team at Brown Rudnick for partnering with us to bring the evening to life, and to everyone who joined and contributed to the discussions throughout the night.

This event marks just the beginning, and we look forward to continuing to create spaces that bring together founders, investors, and industry leaders in a more meaningful way.
