# 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.
