Mesh San Francisco 2026
Welcome to Mesh San Francisco
Together with a16z, Creandum, Accel, Inception, Sandwater, Inventure, Scale, Frumtak, Alliance, Antler, Node, DNB, Spintop, People Ventures, Luminar, Kvanted, Inventure, NEA and General Catalyst we welcome you to Mesh San Francisco.
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.
