Join us at Mumbles Yacht Club for the launch of The Founder Network Swansea, in partnership with Stripe Community.

For our first event, we’ll be joined by Ross Alexander McKenzie, Founder of Openmoove - a platform tackling one of the property industry’s biggest problems: around one in three property sales falling through.

Ross is a former estate agent who built and sold his own agency. Having experienced the problem first-hand, he is now building the technology to solve it. Openmoove has recently secured significant investment, and Ross has an honest and compelling story to share about building, selling and starting again.

There will be no slides or formal presentation. Ross will join us for a relaxed fireside conversation, sharing the experiences, challenges and lessons behind his journey.

This is not traditional networking

There will be no sales pitches, forced referrals, points, targets or awkward introductions. The Founder Network is built around honest founder stories, commercially sharp conversations and relationships that develop naturally over time.

Come along, learn from someone who has lived the problem he is now solving, and become part of a growing community for founders and entrepreneurs across South Wales.

Attendance is free, but spaces are limited and registration is required.
