Founders 5K @ Web Summit

About this event

Running along the Tagus at 8am beats standing in a loud room holding a drink. Or at least, we think so.

We're hosting a small founders run during Web Summit — an easy 5K on Tuesday morning along Lisbon's riverside from Praça do Comércio toward Belém, followed by coffee nearby.

This is intentionally small and lightly curated. Founders and early-stage operators first; a few relevant investors and ecosystem people may join if it feels like the right room.

No pitch, no panel, no agenda. Just a good run, good conversation, and coffee after. If you'd rather skip the run and just join for coffee from 8:45am, that's fine too (location shared with registrants).

You won't miss the conference — main stage doesn't kick off until 9:50am, and you'll be showered and at Oriente by mid-morning of day one.

HostKantis is a London-based AI-native compliance platform built for European startups. We help you achieve ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 42001, plus UK/EU GDPR checks.
