I love that FounderFuel has brought together the start-up scene in Amsterdam. It's so valuable to be more connected with other founders so you can share experiences and get inspired. Given how much I've enjoyed being a part of it, I expect great things for the future!

Context
Who are we?
The Dutch startup ecosystem is fragmented and pretty much non-existent. Founders and investors don’t communicate among/with/between each other. That’s the reason why we started FounderFuel - to connect and improve the local landscape in order to make it possible to compete with Silicon Valley.
Objective:
Organise Amsterdam Tech Week. Inspired by similar thing in USA: https://thetechweek.com/ or https://lu.ma/mhw24.
For who?
Founders who made or got investment of €100k
Investors who invested 2+ angel checks or Work in VC
No consultants, salespeople, coaches, students, etc.
Aim of that week:
No conference or main event/venue, but only side events (which are fun). Maximum 20 people per event.
Structure the week by working together with our partners, and actually making it happen!
