Format
How does a Research meets Revenue evening work?
Each edition is one evening with around 30 guests: half researchers with work worth building on, half company builders looking for a technical co-founder. It opens with a short founder panel or keynote, then moves into 1:1 co-founder speed matching, where researchers and builders find out whether they could start a company together.
Who attends?
- 15 researchers: PhD students, postdocs, principal investigators
- 15 company builders: generalists, GTM, sales, operators, repeat founders
- 1 room: conversations, panel, Q&A

What you need to bring
Researchers do not need a business plan or a pitch deck. Bring a result you believe in and an open mind about what it could become.
