Female Founders & Investors: Curated Startup Apéro
A curated Founders Mesh apéro for female startup founders and investors during Amsterdam Tech Week.
Hosted at Le French Café in Amsterdam, this is a small, high-signal room for seed to Series A founders, angels, and VCs to meet before heading into the rest of the Amsterdam Tech Week circuit.
Founders Mesh is a founder-led community bringing together startup and scaleup founders, investors, and operators through curated events in Amsterdam, Paris, LA, and beyond. We care deeply about building rooms that are more thoughtful, diverse, and actually useful. This one is designed for women building and backing companies, without turning it into the usual “women in tech” theatre.
Expect a relaxed apéro format: a first drink included, a few good bites, a chic but easygoing setting, our renowned Founders Bingo, and a few sharp prompts to get the right conversations going.
Who it’s for:
Female startup founders from seed to Series A, angel investors, and VCs.
Included:
First drink, bites, Founders Bingo, curated conversations, and proper pre-evening energy before the next Amsterdam Tech Week events.
Why This Format Works
We cap the room to protect quality.
We review attendance to shape balance.
We keep it paid to keep it intentional.
Because when the room is right, everything else becomes easier.
Why This Is Paid
Because intentional rooms don’t build themselves.
We cap capacity. We vet attendance. We protect founder–investor balance. We design the format.
The ticket isn’t about entry. It’s about commitment and quality.
Free events optimize for volume. We optimize for alignment.
