The Next-Gen Developer Showcase & Startup Networking

Presented by foundermatcha x University of Westminster

​Calling early-stage startup founders!

​Following our consecutive sold-out matching events in London, we are partnering with the University of Westminster's School of Computer Science to help you skip the noise of job boards.

​We are bringing you into a curated room with up to 30 top-tier, graduating software engineers who are actively looking to build, collaborate, and find their next big opportunity.

​Why this is worth your Friday afternoon:

• ​Scout Your Technical Talent: Bypass traditional hiring. Get direct access to job-ready developers, many of whom are ready to build and open to discussing internships, equity, early-stage project collaborations, or co-founding.

• ​Build a University Pipeline: Find out about “industry exchange projects” by which you can get talented students to explore and develop proof-of-concept prototypes for your business problems.

• ​Evaluate Live Code, Not CVs: Walk the floor through interactive demo stations, getting high-signal 1-on-1 time to vet developers as they showcase their final-year architectures, prototypes, and live code.

• ​High-Signal Founder Networking: Connect and share insights with fellow early-stage tech founders navigating the London startup ecosystem alongside you.
