VC Investor Breakfast w/ Graduate Ventures & Upstream Festival
Continuing our annual tradition, on May 21, 2026, Graduate Ventures will host a curated VC investor breakfast at the Tea Room in the Van Nelle Fabriek, just before the start of Upstream Festival 2026.
For whom this event is:
This breakfast is intended for senior investment professionals, including:
Investment Managers
Principals
Partners
Other key decision-makers within a fund
To maintain a highly curated and valuable group, and to ensure the highest-value discussions for everyone, registrations are approval-based and confirmed if applicants fall within the criteria above.
The goal of the event:
Enjoy great coffee and croissants together
Catching up with fellow investors in the Dutch ecosystem
Sharing what’s hot (or not) in AI, deeptech, and beyond
Swap notes on deals, opportunities, and co-investments
We’ll start with a short welcome, after which the morning will be dedicated to open conversation and networking.
Upstream Event Ticket Discount
The breakfast takes place before Upstream officially begins, at the same venue, making it easy to continue the day at the festival. Participants who wish to attend Upstream right after the breakfast will receive a discount code for tickets after their registration is confirmed.
