Startup/Investor Open Coffee

Come grab a coffee and chat about startups, growth, and investing with fellow entrepreneurs, advisors and investors. This Startup/Investor Open Coffee, organized by SIA and Founder Institute, will be hosted by BeCentral. Building a startup takes more than a good idea — it takes the right network, insights, and support. Our Open Coffee sessions bring together founders, investors, mentors, and startup enthusiasts for meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and fresh perspectives.

Each session is informal and shaped by the needs of those attending. You'll introduce yourself, share current challenges, and get feedback, contacts, and advice from a supportive community. NO PITCHING—just sincere sharing of challenges and insights.

❯ Guest Speakers include Bob De Wilde (Founder, ADELANTUM Services).

❯❯ This is an in-person event, so be sure to RSVP at https://fi.co/e/398245/meetup to secure your spot and receive further details.
