FundFest XI

A closed-door evening for Dutch start-ups that have raised money in the past 12 months and the investors who backed them, run by FundFest with the Dutch Startup Association. FundFest is a quarterly gathering, hosted by Lucien Burm, Friso and Johan Schaap; this is the eleventh edition, and more than 130 people are already registered. The format is networking among people who have recently been on either side of a funding round. Tuesday 13 October, 18:00 to 21:00. Free, but every ticket is approval-gated: start-up tickets for Dutch companies funded in the past year, investor tickets for those who have invested in Dutch start-ups in that period, and a small "other" category. The exact address is shared once you are approved. Why go: a rare room where everyone has recently raised or deployed capital, so the conversations about rounds, terms and next raises are first-hand. For funded founders and active angels and VCs in the Dutch ecosystem.
