We're back for the seventh edition of Venture Builders Meetup, this time with a keynote from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danvvood/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danvvood/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dan Wood</a>, founder, innovator, and someone who has spent years figuring out why some ideas make it and most don't.Dan has worn a lot of hats: civil engineering degree, a decade as a Captain in the British Army's Parachute Regiment, FinTech systems designer, product inventor, and now founder of <a href="https://inso.gg/" title="https://inso.gg/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">INSO</a>, a global innovation consultancy. He also co-hosts <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-good-ideas-club/id1795346825" title="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-good-ideas-club/id1795346825" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Good Ideas Club</a> podcast. The common thread across all of them has been a single obsession: how to take an idea from thought to reality.His talk, "What Good Ideas Need to Survive", is built around the Innovation Equation, a framework Dan developed over years of working with teams and organisations: Leadership + People + Technology + Context. Not a theory. A practical lens for understanding what conditions an idea actually needs to survive the journey to becoming something real.After the keynote, Dan stays on stage for Q&amp;A then we move to networking.

Why you should joinThis is your chance to hear from someone who has built, advised, and studied innovation across industries and geographies. Dan's keynote is grounded in real experience, not theory. Expect a talk that gives you a new way to look at the ideas you're already sitting on. And as always, the room will be full of founders and entrepreneurs who are in the same boat and worth talking to.
