Bootstrap your lead generation
A virtual start-up networking event
Together with our partners, we have coordinated many start-up programs. Over the years, we have been listening and we want to support you even better as early-stage founders. Many of you asked us to get connected with peers who are facing the same challenges as you to exchange experiences.
Therefore we are launching a virtual meetup for start-ups, bringing together bright and motivated founders from all over Europe. We will also invite a keynote speaker to talk about one of your key challenges to kick off the evening.
