Event Details

Join GBx for the launch of Power Brits in the Bay, a series of fireside chats celebrating inspirational Brit’ish leaders, who have built unicorns or risen to the top echelons of the world’s largest tech companies.

​We’re kicking the series off with a fireside chat between two remarkable British unicorn founders: Pete Flint and Immad Akhund.

​Pete Flint co-founded Trulia, one of the internet’s most successful marketplaces and led it from inception through IPO and its eventual $3.5Bn merger with Zillow. Before Trulia, Pete was part of the founding team at lastminute.com, Europe’s leading online travel site, acquired by Travelocity for over $1 billion.

​Immad Akhund is the founder and CEO of Mercury, a fintech unicorn that more than 200K ambitious companies trust with their finances. He also hosts the Founders in Arms podcast and is an active seed investor. Previously, Immad has served as a partner at Y Combinator and co-founded Heyzap.

​Come along to hear about their journeys, connect with fellow Brits in the Bay Area, and celebrate the start of summer with drinks, conversation and some good old British humour.
