​🥂 Good People, Good Startups & Good Wine | Freiraum Ventures & Start2 Group @ VivaTech

​Join us for an informal apéro after the first day of VivaTech in Paris.

​Whether you're a founder, investor, operator, university entrepreneur, or simply interested in the European startup ecosystem, we'd love to meet you for a relaxed evening of conversations, new connections, and a glass of wine.

​Take a break from the conference hustle, cool down after the first day at VivaTech, recharge, and connect with fellow founders, investors, and ecosystem builders in an informal setting.

​No panels, no pitches, no agenda — just good people, good startups, and good wine.

​Freiraum Ventures and Start2 Group will be on-site throughout VivaTech and look forward to connecting with founders, investors, university spin-outs, and ecosystem builders from across Europe.
