About
the FOUNDERS PLAYGROUND
built by FOUNDERS. for the FOUNDERS.
It exists for one simple mission: to make the South West a destination for innovation and creativity and to showcase the incredible founders shaping our region and beyond, in a way that feels bold, fun and genuinely different.
This isn’t another conference or festival. This is a playground that actually accelerates ideas in real time. Founders can experiment without fear, without judgement and turn ideas into reality.
the FOUNDERS playground brings founders, creatives, entrepreneurs and communities together in one playful, high-energy space.

what WE couldn’t find, we created
​
for the FOUNDERS was born from the gap between connection & true community.
​
We created a space where creatives feel seen, dreamers feel backed and bold ideas are taken seriously, even when they don’t follow a traditional path.
​
it’s why for the FOUNDERS exists.
​
Whether you’re quiet or outspoken, structured or figuring it out as you go, you’re welcome here. This is a place to gather, listen, share energy and leave feeling more like yourself, and less like you’re doing it alone.
​
In-person. Interactive. Immersive. Every time.
