We’re teaming up with Founders Meetup Edinburgh for a special event on June 25th at Venture Café Edinburgh!
We’ll bring their signature format, an intimate interview with a successful entrepreneur, and infuse it with Venture Café’s signature magic: real connections, unexpected conversations and a buzzing atmosphere where innovators connect.
During the night, you’ll hear from Poonam Gupta OBE, CEO & Founder of PG Paper Company who will share her journey scaling a global business.
Whether you come for the story or the people, you'll leave with fresh ideas and new contacts.

Grab a drink, and join the conversation! Whether you're looking to meet potential collaborators, exchange ideas, grow your network, or simply continue the conversation, this is a great opportunity to connect with fellow innovators, entrepreneurs, and members of the community. You never know where a conversation might lead!
Needing something refreshing to fight off the heat? Drop by and meet the team from Cortino coffee, an Edinburgh-based company blending Italian coffee culture with Scottish whisky tradition to create a one-of-a-kind coffee experience. Sample their barrel-aged cold brew, a delicious coffee flavour with an unmistakable whisky character and no alcohol.

Find out more about the exciting startups in our ecosystem at our Innovator Showcase - the perfect chance to meet the people behind the ideas.
Join the Innovator Showcase and meet:
Scran - Scran is making cooking accessible to every mind. The app helps people save recipes from wherever they find them and simplifies them into clear, step-by-step cooking experiences designed to reduce overwhelm and build confidence for neurodivergent home cooks.
TheiaMuse - Developed with museum leaders and exhibition providers across North America and Europe, TheiaMuse helps organisations assess exhibition opportunities before investing significant time and resources. By bringing together venue requirements, exhibition specifications, scheduling, and operational data, it helps museums and providers identify viable opportunities earlier in the planning process. The platform was inspired by firsthand experience in the travelling exhibitions sector, where promising opportunities were often delayed or lost because key feasibility questions were addressed too late. TheiaMuse supports existing decision-making processes by making critical information easier to access and compare. TheiaMuse’s vision is a more efficient touring exhibition ecosystem, helping exhibitions reach more audiences and spend less time off the road.
In this workshop, Miguel Jaques, Co-founder and CEO of the financial data provider Terrapin, shares the real-world playbook he used to land his first paying clients.
Miguel will break down the exact steps he took, from leveraging his network to mastering cold outreach, revealing which channels worked best and how he iterated his pitch along the way. He'll also discuss what he did differently this time compared to previous ventures and how he balanced the relentless demands of client acquisition with the fundraising process.
This is an honest and practical session for founders who want a clear, no-nonsense look at the numbers behind the hustle, and a realistic approach to go after their own first clients with confidence.
Hear from Claudia Cavalluzzo, Director of Venture Café Edinburgh and Laura Bernal, Founder of Axiotic AI, who will set the scene for the evening in partnership with Founders Meetup Edinburgh.
Meet inspiring founders as they share their journeys at our Founders Spotlight.
