COMPOUND LIVE

Compound Live

Three hours in one room. You leave with new people you can call, and a second opinion on the one dilemma you brought.

How Compound events work

One room, everyone meets everyone.

Compound is a community of operators who have already proven they can execute. Right now it runs event by event: you pay for the event you attend, nothing recurring.

1 ticket

Pay per event, not per month

Each event has its own price and its own checkout. The ticket covers the room and the food.

Up to 50

New people you can actually call

We run the introductions ourselves. You rotate through small groups, so by the end you have met the whole room.

1 dilemma

Bring a real one

Everyone arrives with one problem or decision they are sitting on. You leave with partners, collaborators or clients for it, or at least with people who are stuck on the same thing.

Who this is for

A room of people who care how business actually works.

Founders, owners and C-level.

You run a company or a big part of one, and you want partners, collaborators or your next hire from people who have done the same.

Commercial leaders.

Sales, marketing and growth people measured on revenue. You want peers who run the same playbook in other industries.

People in a job who think like owners.

You are employed, not a founder, but business topics are your thing: how companies grow, sell, hire, price. Here you hear it first hand, from people who do it every day.

Anyone sitting on a decision.

A hire, a pricing change, a market you are not sure about. Up to 50 experienced people poke at it before you commit.

Not for people who come to pitch. If you need to sell to the room, this is the wrong room.

Compound Live: Belgrade

19 Oct 2026 · Curry Souls

Compound Live came to Belgrade on a Monday at 9 AM, the slot most people keep for the weekly meeting and the weekend inbox. More than 40 people came anyway, founders and C-level leaders, the people who sign off on budgets. Curry Souls served a Sri Lankan breakfast with 11 dishes, 5 sides and 4 drinks, and the room quickly filled with conversations between people who run very different companies.

About

Compound, by Funky Enterprises

Compound is a community for operators who have already proven they can execute: founders, commercial leaders and senior people who own a number. It started as a question we kept hearing after our own events and calls: where do you go to talk shop with people at your level, without a pitch at the end? Compound Live is our answer: one room of people who own a number, introductions we run ourselves, and one real dilemma per person.

You pay for the event you attend.

Funky Enterprises

A B2B growth firm that builds commercial systems: positioning, marketing, sales and customer success built to work together. Compound is the room where that work gets compared in the open.
