Zain Mobarik (Redwood Founders): A Free Incubator & London's Community Playbook

Zain Mobarik introduces Redwood Founders: a volunteer-run, completely free eight-week "nights and weekends" incubator for young builders, anchored on giving first, taking no equity, and a 20-year compounding plan, with 20 startups coming out of last year's cohort. He shares the community philosophy he carries over from being a founder associate at incident — becoming a "home for startups in London," the "soup" analogy, and betting on in-person time over cold outreach — plus why London's collaborative, nascent scene (Decagon, Granola opening offices) helps. His advice for young people: build something, however imperfect, and talk about it publicly; Redwood's applications close April 30.
