What we’re about
Startup Commons aims to ensure that all key players in the startup scene, at least once per year, have the chance to meet face-to-face. The event has been a regular tradition in Amsterdam and Berlin for years.
This group is intended to give an online presence to the network created at these physical events. The events in this group are organized and hosted by a range of Startup Commons partners like Leapfunder, AWS, UtrechtInc, Acrobator VC, Dutch Founders Fund, Forward Inc, dealroom.co, Arches Capital, Startup Village, Techstars, torq.partners, rockstart, StartupAmsterdam, No Such Ventures, Volta Ventures, Curiosity VC, Peak, and Amsterdam Capital House. There is always a host present at each of the online and offline events in this group.
Startup Commons is not-for-profit and brand-neutral. It is a shared resource for all its partners. And anyone from the startup scene can join as a partner.

"It was very interesting and I really liked that everyone got room for their ideas. The format and size are perfect. The trainer is a wonderful speaker who gives valuable input.""It was clear and focused on our goals. The trainer knew exactly what we were struggling with and was able to provide good tips."
"I wanted to let you know that I visit quite a few startup-related MeetUps every month and I have to say that I actually learned quite a bit today. I think your practical approach is great. I was expecting a theoretical talk but what I got was a learning experience with no butterflies and rainbows. Just straight talk. 5/5."
