📍 Lisbon, Portugal
Web Summit
2025
In 2025, we sent a group to the much-heralded Web Summit in Lisbon — one of the world's most celebrated gatherings of tech minds, flooded with big-name speakers and companies from every corner of the globe.
Attending events like this is a statement of intent. We invest in growth. New ideas. New technology. Fresh thinking from some of the biggest names in the industry. And this year delivered in every sense.
If there was one unmistakable theme running through every keynote, every pitch, every conversation? AI. The momentum was undeniable and it touched everything from leadership and cybersecurity to product design and company culture.
A few sessions that really stayed with us:
Anton Osika, CEO of Lovable — on building technology for the 99%. A refreshing reminder that the best products are built with real users at the centre.
Anu Bharadwaj, President of Atlassian — spoke powerfully on how leaders can navigate rapid AI adoption without losing clarity or purpose.
David Risher, CEO of Lyft — delivered what can only be described as a masterclass in focus, culture, and rebuilding a business around what truly matters.
Beyond the sessions, it was the conversations with founders, operators and innovators from across the globe that made the trip truly valuable. That's exactly why we show up to events like this.
Because staying curious, staying connected, and staying ahead isn't just good for personal growth — it's good for Cazoo.
