BNP Paribas wanted to get in the room with the right CXOs.
We made that happen.
Last week in Singapore, The Builders Club partnered with BNP Paribas to bring together a curated group of senior leaders — the kind of room where titles don’t matter, but perspectives do.
No agenda packed with speakers.
No death by PowerPoint.
Just CXOs, in conversation, with people worth talking to.
The Builders Club × BNP Paribas — Singapore
Three things that stayed with me from the room
AI is a multiplier, not a replacement.
The leaders who get this right aren’t replacing judgment — they’re freeing their best people to use it.
The curious ones outlast the credentialed ones.
Every CXO in that room who’s still growing has one thing in common. They never stopped asking questions.
Belonging has to be engineered.
Culture doesn’t happen by default. The best organisations design for it — deliberately, repeatedly, at every level.
The room that made it happen.
This is what The Builders Club does differently.
We don’t just curate content.
We curate rooms.
The right people. The right partner. The right conversation.
If your brand needs to be in front of the right CXOs — this is how it’s done.
Our previous Investor Dates with Inflexor Ventures and Ideaspring Capital were a resounding success. Around 9-10 selected founders got an opportunity to Sit at the investors office over coffee and talk about what they are building while also discussing this with the fellow founders in attendance.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with investors appreciating the carefully curated selection of startups that align with their investment thesis.
Upcoming Investor Dates:
Leo Capital – March 12, Bangalore
JITO – March 20, Mumbai
Pravega – April 9, Bangalore

We’re excited to announce our partnership with TiE Mumbai for TiEcon 2025!
This year’s edition is set to be bigger and better than ever – With over 120 unicorns, 600+ soonicorns, and mature SME companies, startups in India have reached a critical inflection point.
This sector now employs 60 lakh people directly and 7x indirectly, having raised $200+ billion in external funding.
At this juncture, startups and traditional industries are merging into a powerful force that will propel India toward its $10 trillion GDP milestone. TiEcon Mumbai 2025 will explore this confluence and the opportunities it creates.
This month was a milestone moment for The Builders Circle.
As our network of founders and CXOs continues to expand, we successfully hosted two boardroom meetings in parallel—a testament to the growing demand for high-value, in-depth discussions among serious founders.
Each Builders Circle meeting brings together a select group of founders, CXOs, and industry leaders to engage in high-impact discussions, share insights, and forge meaningful business connections.
These sessions serve as a powerful space for collaboration, where challenges are tackled, growth strategies are exchanged, and long-term relationships are built.

We recently hosted the second edition of A Date with an Investor in Bangalore, this time in collaboration with Ideaspring Capital, a deep-tech-focused fund that provides potential investment cheques ranging from $1 million to $3 million for MVP+ startups.
The event was uniquely curated, where the founders carefully shortlisted startups based on the investor thesis, ensuring a high-quality and impactful engagement.
Unlike traditional investor-founder meetups, this was not a typical pitch session. Instead, it was an interactive dialogue where founders shared insights into what they are building, exchanged thought-provoking questions, and engaged in meaningful discussions.
More than just an investment discussion, the event became a platform for founders to discover business opportunities within each other’s ventures, fostering a collaborative and growth-driven ecosystem.
Key Takeaways from the Event
The session was engaging, interactive, and thought-provoking, featuring:
Founder-led discussions: Each entrepreneur had the chance to share their vision, challenges, and the problems they are solving.
Cross-questioning & idea exchange: Founders engaged in open discussions, challenging each other’s perspectives and refining their business models.
Investor insights: The Ideaspring Capital team elaborated on their investment thesis, clarifying their focus areas and what they look for in potential investments.
Collaboration opportunities: Several founders identified synergies between their businesses, paving the way for potential partnerships.
