Founders & Funds: Oktoberfest & Race Week edition!

Hosted by Deel and BackScoop for global teams hiring and paying across borders. Now in stablecoins.

The night before TOKEN2049, with F1 week about to take over the city, we're taking over all of Brotzeit for a night of Oktoberfest celebrations!

No canapés. No queue for the lift. No standing around.

Get real food, free-flowing beer and wine, and sit and mingle with people you actually want to meet.

🎶 Live DJ in the house
🍸 Fresh slushie cocktails
🥨 Pretzel cart
🌍 Real conversations
🍺 Beer tapping opening ceremony, Hammerschlagen competitive nail hammering

Who's in the room

Crypto and Web3 founders from pre-seed onwards. Senior operators at crypto companies: CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and the people running finance, ops and HR. Investors actively writing cheques in the space, from VCs to family offices.

Plus a handful of founders and VCs from outside Web3 who are building and investing across borders (because the hiring and payments problem doesn't stop at crypto!).

Deel has just launched stablecoin payroll so that companies can pay their teams in stablecoins. If you're building across time zones, these are the people solving the same problem you are.

Eat well. Meet good people. Have a proper night before the week begins.

📍 Where: City Hall
🗓️ When: October 6, 2026 (Tuesday)
🕒 Time: 7 PM – 10 PM
🍻 Full venue takeover! Real food, beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks, all on us.

😉 Don't miss it. Slots are limited and by approval only, so sign up.

We're keeping slots limited to ensure meaningful connections and conversations.
