Bright Minds: A networking & panel event for young founders in Scotland

What is Bright Minds?
Bright Minds is a new event series from Quine Magazine, created to give Scotland’s young founders, entrepreneurs, creatives and leaders a place to come together.

As a young founder herself, Quine’s founder and editor Gemma Meek has seen how few spaces exist for ambitious people at a similar stage of life to connect, share experiences and find collaborators. Bright Minds was created to change that — it’s where building your business feels less lonely, and where you can find your people.

The Launch Event
Our first event explores “Life as a Young Founder” — an open and honest conversation about what it’s really like to start a business in your 20s and 30s. From the excitement of getting started to the challenges of learning on your feet, our panel of founders will share their highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way.

Expect practical advice, candid stories, and the chance to ask your own questions.
