Just closed my first round. £250k. The intro you made at Ideas Fest literally changed everything. I owe you a drink.

Remember that guy I sat next to at dinner? We just signed a joint venture. Contracts went out Friday. Mental.

So I finally quit. Handed my notice in Monday. The conversations I had in that field gave me the push I needed. Building full time now.

Frankie. We did it. Partner deal signed with [redacted]. They were at Ideas Fest, we got chatting at the bar, rest is history. Thank you doesn't cover it.

I've been to a hundred conferences. Ideas Fest is the only one where I actually made money afterwards. Not even close.

That panel completely rewired how I think about growth. Doubled down on partnerships instead of paid ads. Revenue up 40% in 3 months.

Found my co-founder at your festival. We launched in January. Already profitable. Still can't believe it started over a campfire chat.

Actually I wanted to let you know I just made an angel investment in someone that attended my fundraising panel at Ideas Fest!

Just wanted to say thanks. The energy at that event was different. I came home and restructured my entire business. Best decision I've made in years.
