FuN London x Turing Fest

Ember is building the future of intercity transport – fully electric and tech enabled. Their goal is to replace the private car with a better alternative which makes your whole journey, from A to B, seamless. Our full stack platform powers the operations, the charging infrastructure, and the entire customer experience. As a result, we’re running the highest mileage EV’s in the world on the most demanding routes. 🎤 Mat Norbury spent five years and far more of his own money than was sensible taking brain-sensing technology out of the lab and into the real world with FC Labs. In January 2026, after a lead investor pulled out at the 11th hour, he put the company into voluntary liquidation. He's not ashamed to admit he found the limit of his resilience and was in a low place for a while. Going again was the last thing he wanted. But doing deliveries for Evri didn't provide the calm he was after, so six months later he's co-founder and CEO of Aelo Neurotech, building a wearable that does for the brain what Whoop and Oura do for the body. He'll talk about what it really costs to keep going, and the bits nobody puts on LinkedIn. 🔥 Who are we? Fuckup Nights London is the UK’s largest failure-first community, where founders and professionals get together to share their biggest mistakes. We create a no judgement space, where you can be open and reflective, without the pressure of traditional networking. Our mission is to get you the lesson without the scar :) We’ve hosted 8 sold-out events so far, each with 500–1000 registrations, and now we’re bringing you our 9th event on 8th July, in partnership with Brighteye. 🤝 Our event partner: Turing Fest Turing Fest is the UK's leading startup-investor summit, bringing together early-stage founders, operators, and investors in Edinburgh for two days of meaningful conversations, learning, and connection. Unlike events that optimise purely for attendance, Turing Fest focuses on the quality of the room — creating opportunities for genuine conversations through curated networking, 1:1 meetings, side events, and content designed for people building and backing the next generation of tech. 💖 What we need from you: Audience recording isn’t permitted so speakers can share openly. If you aren’t able to attend, fear not - the fireside chats will be recorded and shared on our socials afterwards with the speakers’ consent.
