INAUGURAL SIDE EYE LABS FOUNDERS RETREAT / 2026

Singapore.
Let’s build.

Big city. Good ideas. Great company.
Something real, made together.

25–27 November 2026 · Three days · Dan + Stef

Equal partners. Shared decisions. A proper adventure.

OUR CITY CHAPTER

Make something.
Make memories too.

Three days to work on a thing we both care about, enjoy the city and get excited about where it could go.

A founders retreat for the two of us: coffee, useful conversations, focused making and a real product we’re proud to show someone. The birthday concert and time together are part of the adventure.

We arrive with practice from Koh Tao: the tools we like, what we learned about working together, and perhaps a product we want to develop further.

Neither of us arrives with the idea already decided. We choose together whether to continue that product or explore something new. Both shape the work; both get meaningful creative ownership.

This is our landing page, not a booked programme. Exact work blocks, venue and scope will follow our Koh Tao debrief.
