About us
Based in Amsterdam and connected to a global network, Tech Makers brings together founders, builders, and innovators who love turning ideas into reality.
Tech Makers Monthly Drinks is our signature monthly meetup for Amsterdam’s tech and entrepreneurial community. Each month we open the doors for the Tech Makers crew, startups, and curious individuals to grab a drink, share a pitch, and spark conversations around new projects, ideas, and collaborations.
💡 We also built a simple tool to help people find complementary co-founders: findyourcofounder.nl , check it out and spread the word.
Registration is free, so sign up and join us! Let’s keep boosting entrepreneurship and innovation across the Netherlands. 🚀
Thanks to our partner Selego for opening their offices to us since the beginning of our journey.
