Can I sponsor Sunrise?

Each Sunrise, we work with a small group of partners who are as committed as we are in creating an extraordinary event. We're deliberately pretty picky about who we work with, but if you work with a company that wants to champion startups and the people building them, then flick us an email at sunrise@blackbird.vc and we can chat there.

When will the full program be announced?

We'll have a bunch more speaker and program announcements to drop, so keep you eye out! The full program and session times will be released closer to Sunrise. Make sure to sign up to Sunrise email notifications and follow Blackbird's socials to be the first to hear.
