London Summer Growth Mixer with SuLe and Connectd
The London Summer Growth Mixer was not a typical networking event. SuLe and Connectd brought together over 100 founders, fractional leaders, investors, and ecosystem partners to the rooftop at Queen of Hoxton on 14th May, with one shared goal: leave with one deal, one introduction, or one story worth telling. The rooftop sold out weeks before the night. A waiting list kept growing right up until the doors opened.
The premise was deliberately simple. Put the right people in the same room, remove the formality that usually surrounds founder events, and let the conversations do the work. The guest list was curated to reflect that. Founders with real traction. Fractional and commercial leaders in growth-stage businesses. Investors actively deploying capital. B2B senior leaders looking for meaningful startup collaborations. No tyre-kickers, and no passive attendees.
By the time the rooftop closed and the party moved downstairs, deals had been started, introductions had been made, and new connections had formed that went well beyond the transactional. Our co-founders were on the dance floor. The DJ was setting the tone. And a room full of serious builders had spent an evening finding each other.
This event would not have been possible without Connectd, whose collaboration and shared vision made it what it was. A particular thank you to Alex Rose for making the partnership happen from the start.
We are also grateful to Dell Technologies for sponsoring the evening. Through the Dell Technologies Startups and Entrepreneurs programme, Dell provides founders and growing businesses with access to tailored IT solutions, exclusive pricing, and a team of specialists equipped to help at every stage of growth. Their support for events like this reflects a genuine commitment to the startup ecosystem.
The waiting list on the night, the conversations that ran past midnight, and the feedback we received in the days that followed all point to the same conclusion - founders are hungry for spaces where the room has been chosen as carefully as the agenda.
