We welcome finance entrepreneurs, fintech founders, investors, business leaders and banking professionals from various fields. We always choose the luxurious lounges all around London so you can network in peace and focus. We make sure you feel comfortable and fulfill all of your needs. Our locations are at the heart of central london so it's easy for you to travel to and from. Food and drinks are also available at our venues. For our event, we have reserved an area of the venue so that we can mix and mingle and meet old and new friends, new contacts, and new clients too! We encourage everyone to talk to as many people in the event as possible. That said, once you feel a certain chemistry or opportunity with someone, we encourage to talk with them on a deeper level. We forget about 90% of people after a goodnight sleep. However when we establish an emotional resonance with someone, they will remember us the next day. Program: The evening's format is designed for networking in a relaxed setting, providing an opportunity to meet fellow business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors. We emphasize building genuine relationships on a personal level. I will be there to help with introductions and get over the barrier of anxiety when approaching someone you don't know. How many people are attending? The venue has a capacity limit of 80 guests, and due to the popularity of our events and the unique ambiance of the location, we anticipate this event will reach full capacity quickly. We strongly advise securing your reservation early to ensure attendance. If you haven't gotten a ticket, you can pay when you arrive but it will be 50% more expensive than buying it in advance. Our events achieve success through a straightforward yet impactful strategy. A few days prior to the event, we establish a WhatsApp group for attendees interested in pre-event networking, enabling participants to arrange meetings both for the event day and beforehand. On the day of the event, you will experience a relaxing atmosphere with a hospitable and encouraging community. Dress code: business casual (no trainers, no jeans) Refund policy: Advance purchase tickets are offered at a discounted rate compared to those bought on the event day.

Untapped Markets: Building Businesses Where Others Arenโ€™t Looking

Untapped Markets: Building Businesses Where Others Arenโ€™t Looking

Tue, Nov 10, 6:15 PM
From Founders500
4.8

Date: Tuesday 10th November, 6:15-9 PM UK Time Location: [1 Warwick by Maslowโ€™s](https://share.google/MnxwD6w1PqaJ512K6) [Sign up for this event here! ](https://founders500.com/session/startup-session-19-untapped-markets-building-businesses-where-others-arent-looking/)Please note that clicking attend on Meetup will not give you the correct QR code to enter this event. Please sign up for your Universe ticket using the link. ## **Could your next business idea be hiding in a problem you deal with every day?** An awkward process. Information you can never find. Something everyone in your industry accepts as โ€œjust how things workโ€. For someone thinking about starting a business, those frustrations could be a starting point. But how do you recognise an opportunity worth pursuing, persuade people to pay for your solution and get started before you have everything figured out? With AI opening up new possibilities, what could those opportunities look like in 2026? Our guest, **Jacques Goudchaux, Chief Strategy Officer at Signal Ocean**, has spent more than three decades doing exactly that. While working as a shipbroker, Jacques saw a problem: people making major commercial decisions were relying on scattered information and printed references that quickly went out of date. He believed a more complete, accessible picture of the market was something customers would pay for. His chairman was sceptical, but agreed to back the idea. With the support of BRS, Jacques launched **ALPHALINER in 2000**, starting with spreadsheets, simple web pages and a conviction that other people shared his frustration. There was no elaborate business plan or dedicated sales team. He found early customers while still doing his day job, demonstrating the product during his existing broking trips. As the business developed, he increased the subscription price several times over. Customers kept subscribing. **What could the equivalent opportunity look like in 2026?** For Jacques, it began with spreadsheets and simple web pages. Today, could AI offer a new starting point for solving the problems people in your industry still put up with? Weโ€™ll explore where similar opportunities might exist now, why knowing your market matters and how to distinguish a useful business idea from excitement about the technology. Jacques later became CEO of AXSMarine, growing the business internationally before it joined forces with Signal Ocean in 2026. His story brings some refreshingly direct views on what it takes to build a business, how much you can realistically plan and when you need to get on with making things happen. **What will we explore?** Join host **David Loughlan** and Jacques as we discuss: * **Finding an idea worth pursuing:** How can your everyday experience help you spot a problem that others have learnt to live with? * **Starting before everything is perfect:** What do you need in place to begin, and what can you work out along the way? * **Winning your first customers:** How do you turn a useful idea into something people will actually pay for? * **Having the confidence to charge more:** How do you recognise the value of your product and know when your pricing needs to change? * **Backing yourself while staying open to being wrong:** How do you balance conviction with listening, learning and changing direction? * **Spotting opportunities in the age of AI:** Where could AI help you solve an overlooked industry problem, and how do you judge whether thereโ€™s a business behind the idea? Expect an honest conversation grounded in real decisions, early doubts and lessons you can apply to building a business today. Whether you have an idea scribbled in a notebook, a side project youโ€™re wondering how to grow or a business already under way, youโ€™ll find plenty to think about and discuss with people asking similar questions. There will be time to ask questions, exchange ideas and meet other founders and founders-to-be. If youโ€™re coming on your own or still figuring out where to start, youโ€™re very welcome. **No shipping knowledge required. Bring your curiosity and that idea you keep coming back to.** **Free to attend. Spaces are limited.** [Sign up for this event here! ](https://founders500.com/session/startup-session-19-untapped-markets-building-businesses-where-others-arent-looking/)Please note that clicking attend on Meetup will not give you the correct QR code to enter this event.
