Founders Gathering
Founders & Startup C-Levels Only
Where the magic happens. Founders come together — openly, honestly — to share what worked, what failed, and what they’re building next. Ideas cross borders. Partnerships form. The room feels like the future in motion.

2026 SPEAKERS
Gil Linster is a Luxembourgish racing driver who built his career without factory backing, replacing budget with precision. At 21, a poisoning incident left him with serious organ complications; within a year he was back and stronger, earning his "European Underdog" reputation the hard way. In 2024 he made his NASCAR debut at Daytona, delivering the strongest recent performance by a European driver there. This season in EuroNASCAR's Open Series, his consistency has put him firmly in the title fight.

Jake is Founder and CEO of Gemini Sports, a Miami based AI startup building the first squad planning co-pilot for global football. After nearly a decade in elite performance, including New Zealand Rugby, the Dutch Olympic Federation, Team USA and Florida State University, he saw how much squad planning still ran on spreadsheets and siloed systems. Gemini launched in early 2025, backed by the owners of 27 sports organisations and leading VC firms, and is now used by clubs across professional football.
