Founders Mesh: The Year-End Unwind | Founders & Investors Networking

While corporates throw office parties, founders throw resilience.

​The year’s almost done. Startups have grown, crashed, pivoted, downsized, raised, or rage-quit Notion.
But somehow, we’re still here, and that deserves a toast.

​While everyone else celebrates targets and bonuses, we’ll celebrate progress, persistence, and the glorious mess of building things that matter.

It’s a collective exhale; a night for founders and investors to drop the pitch decks, pick up a drink, and remind ourselves why we do this.

​What awaits you

​Smart People, Zero Pretension
The familiar Founders Mesh crowd: builders, funders, dreamers, and doers; reconnecting before we all disappear into 2026 planning decks.

​Short & Sweet Pitches
Our signature beer-crate moments. No decks, no judges, just 2-minute bursts of startup energy and real stories.

​Good Beats, Better Drinks
A DJ set that starts conversations, not drowns them. And drinks & snacks by cornerstore, because they know how to do it best.

​A Proper Toast
To the wins, the fuckups, and everything in between.

​The Essentials

​Date: Wednesday, December 10
Time: 18:30 onward
Location: cornerstore, Amsterdam
Vibe: Founder therapy disguised as a party
Dress code: Whatever you built your dreams in.
