4pm to 7.30pm BST

Inspired by Ada Lovelace, our mission is to find and fund the visionary founders of today. Founders who are reconstructing systems to win. Talented, underestimated and ambitious. Leaders who grab opportunities to change the world with both hands.

Every year, we bring together our team, community, policymakers, journalists, and inclusive leaders, alongside purpose-led founders, to reignite our shared movement.

For AdaCon 2025, we're launching the Inclusive Alpha Founder Report, which delves deep into understanding the psychological traits that influence some of the most consequential founders across North America, the UK, and Europe. Talent is equally distributed, and it's our job to light the way.
