DETAILS

Celebrate the launch of my new book fundraising for two causes close to my heart : The British Heart Foundation & Cardiomyopathy UK.
Following the Successful launch of The Collision Code in London James Eder, Author, Entrepreneur & Founder of Student Beans (Now part of Pion) will be visiting New York for a limited time to host an in-person launch of the book & you're invited.

More Than a Book Launch

This isn't just an event-it's a celebration, a chance to connect, & a live experience of The Collision Code in action.

Great things happen when minds collide. The Collision Code shows how connections spark ideas, growth, & opportunity. Michael Acton Smith, Entrepreneur & Co-Founder of Calm



With practical wisdom & relatable stories, The Collision Code is an essential read for anyone looking to unlock the potential of everyday moments & manufacture serendipity. Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman Ogilvy, Author of Alchemy.



The Collision Code reminds us that real magic happens when we put down the tech & return to genuine, human connection. Mike Butcher MBE, Editor-At-Large, TechCrunch



100% of the Royalties are being donated to charities related to James' Story including The British Heart Foundation & Cardiomyopathy UK.



After months of work behind the scenes, I'm beyond excited (and yes, a little nervous!) to share that my book is officially published.

Because of my heart condition, I can't run a marathon - but I can bring people together. So, to celebrate my book launch, I'm hosting a fundraising event in support of The British Heart Foundation & Cardiomyopathy UK.

I had already been diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - a heart condition that changed everything - but it was in Autumn 2021, after my heart rhythm changed that I faced the real possibility of needing a heart transplant. While waiting for answers, I made myself a promise: write the book.

That promise became The Collision Code.(Fortunately, I'm stable right now, though still reviewed every 3 months.)

Inside the book you'll find entrepreneurial stories from the rise of Student Beans to the fall of Causr, plus practical tools & reflections to help you feel more connected, fulfilled, & ready for whatever's next.

It's about the themes that matter most to me - connection, serendipity, community, & living with intention - all brought to life through real experiences & lessons learned.

I look forward to seeing you there on the night.

NB: There will be a cash bar at our host venue Grand Street Social.



If for any reason you're not able to attend the night but would like to help contribute & still be involved there are a couple of things you can do:



Feel free to donate to either one of the JustGiving Pages - here for Cardiomyopathy UK or here for The British Heart Foundation.
Of course you also can buy the book: https://a.co/d/a0kJjkL- whilst 100% of ticket sales on the night are going to charity (I'm donating the costs of the books & any associated costs of running the event) as an ongoing commitment to these good causes: 100% of the royalties are being donated to The British Heart Foundation & Cardiomyopathy UK.


A big thank you to all your help & support. It is really appreciated.
