Tech Events at Café de Muurbloem, Amsterdam

The last Hackers & Founders Amsterdam meetup of 2026, the end-of-year edition, at Cafe de Muurbloem on Bloemgracht from 19:00. One of the city's longest-running gatherings of technical founders and engineers, and deliberately unstructured: no stage, no pitches, just the room. Free, and capped at 100 places. Why go: the signal here is who turns up rather than what is programmed, and after years of running it the organisers have a room where introductions actually go somewhere. Best for technical founders, engineers thinking about starting something, and anyone who finds conference networking formats exhausting.

The November edition of Amsterdam's longest-running founders meetup, at Café de Muurbloem. Free, informal, and reliably full of people actually building companies — the default room for anyone new to the Amsterdam startup scene.

with Thijs Cadier (Co-founder, AppSignal)

Drinks and conversation at Café de Muurbloem in the Jordaan, with a talk from Thijs Cadier, co-founder of AppSignal and a Hackers & Founders regular since the meetup's early days. H&F is one of the longest-running technical founder communities in Amsterdam and keeps an active Slack alongside the in-person events, including a jobs channel. Informal, pub-based, and reliably populated by people who have actually shipped and sold software.

Hackers & Founders Amsterdam has been the city's most consistent gathering for builders and founders since 2010. Every month, the community meets for informal drinks and conversations — no pitches, no panels, just genuine conversation between people building things. With 11,000+ members, this is the room where Amsterdam's founder community actually talks to each other. Drop in at Café de Muurbloem and find your people.
