Hosted by The Startup Stroll

Take a four-hour founder reset through Hampstead Heath on Saturday 31 October 2026, with honest conversation and no pitches or formal agenda. The Startup Stroll is partnering with FoundHers for a longer edition of its bi-monthly morning walk for founders and builders. Rather than talks or structured networking, the event creates space to discuss the realities of building something, from doubts and messy challenges to work in progress and under-celebrated wins. Expect a relaxed walk through the greenery of London, hosted by Marion Boimond, Stefanie Mulder, Teresa Wang and Christine Ganshof. Bring your curiosity, a coffee and whatever is on your mind; pitching is explicitly off the agenda. Afterwards, attendees who want to continue the conversation can find somewhere nearby for coffee or brunch. Date and time: Saturday 31 October 2026, 11:00am–3:00pm GMT Meeting area: Parliament Hill Fields, by Hampstead Hill in London. Registration is required to see the exact address.
