Tech Events at I Dock, Amsterdam

Startup Valley's recurring Amsterdam pitch-and-networking night returns to I Dock on the IJdok waterfront. The evening runs to a clear structure: registration and casual networking, an interactive session designed to surface who in the room is actually relevant to you, then a pitch block where selected founders get five minutes on their idea, business model and market in front of investors, followed by Q&A and open networking. Startup Valley has run 900+ pitch nights across 25 cities since 2024, and every pitching founder is screened by their team — so investors see a curated lineup rather than an open mic.

A known and well-attended monthly fixture in the Amsterdam calendar.

Recurring monthly evening at I Dock that runs alongside the Startup Valley pitch night — bring a drink, meet other operators, founders and investors active in the Amsterdam scene. Lower-key than a structured pitch event; the value is the mix of people in the room and the easy entry point for newcomers to the city's tech ecosystem.

Monthly pitch night at I Dock from the Startup Valley community: 4-8 early-stage startups pitch live and get feedback from angels and VC partners in the room, followed by open networking. Hosted alongside the regular Tech & Business Networking night at the same venue so attendees can move between the two formats. Good for first-time founders sharpening their pitch and for operators/investors who want concentrated access to current Amsterdam-stage dealflow.

Ascent Valley's structured co-founder matching event at I Dock is specifically designed for ambitious founders and builders actively looking for a co-founder. Rather than generic networking, the format creates structured introductions focused on complementary skills and shared startup ideas. If you're building something and need a technical or commercial partner — or if you're an engineer or marketer looking for the right founding team — this is a more intentional use of an evening than open networking.
