​Join a group of carefully selected founders and investors for surfing, sauna sessions, VC bar crawls, founders' dinners, and much more on October 3-5, leading up to SF Tech Week.

​The leading Nordic meetup

​In October 2025, 150+ founders and investors from the Nordics and the US, joined us - hosted alongside Ben Horowitz and more than 20 top-tier VCs including local funds like a16z, Kleiner Perkins, Khosla, General Catalyst, NEA, and IVP.

​This year we go even harder on both curation and our activity-based programme built for connection.

​We curate the group from who we believe are pushing the Nordics forwards and can help build a stronger Nordic presence in SF - benefitting founders and VCs across both sides of the Atlantic.
