Why founders keep coming back

Bristol's got no shortage of "networking" - most of it means standing in a corner with a lukewarm coffee while someone tries to sell you insurance. This is different. It's small enough to actually talk to everyone in the room, and there's a strict "no pitching" policy that means every conversation starts as a conversation, not a sales pitch.
