Founders Forum is a global community where ideas are shared, supported and brought to life. 2 INTRODUCTION Reflections from our founder Serendipity is back! The days after FF are filled with stories of capital raised, deals struck, creative brainstorming, friendships renewed, and a much-needed celebration of UK tech. As we celebrated our 15th anniversary, it is clear how far the conversation has come since the early days. It is no longer about whether the UK can have a vibrant tech sector, but how big it can become. At this year’s FF the talk was of IPOs and SPACs, past and planned, or what to do for your second, third or even fourth act. Taavet Hinrikus announced Wise’s IPO and we learned of the UK’s 100th unicorn. The UK tech scene has made tremendous progress, and the unanimous feeling is that there’s much more to come. It’s great to be back. Thank you to everyone involved. Now here’s to the next 15 years, Brent Hoberman CBE Executive Chair, Founders Forum 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Welcome Art, Culture & Society 1 An introduction to FF 19 A $69 million free-for-all?
