About this event

A seated dinner for founders and operators with Gloria Baeuerlein, founding partner at Puzzle Ventures, hosted by Whale with Puzzle Ventures and Index Ventures. Capped at 20 people. Hosts are Bas van den Brande, Alexander Kempen and Joris Dekker. 18:30 to 22:00. Registration is subject to host approval and the exact location is shared only once you are approved. Why go: a 20-seat table with a founding partner is a different conversation from a panel, and Whale curates who is in the room. Best for founders raising now or about to, who want a pre-seed investor's unfiltered read over dinner rather than in a pitch.
