The Founders Table: An Intimate Dinner for SaaS Visionaries
The Founders Table: An Intimate Dinner for SaaS Visionaries
We're bringing together up to 8 ambitious SaaS founders for an intimate evening of meaningful conversation, strategic insights, and genuine connection. No pitch decks. No sponsors. No awkward name tags. Just exceptional food, carefully selected wine, and the kind of conversations that actually move the needle. **This evening is for you if:** ✓ You're actively building (or seriously planning) a SaaS product with real market potential ✓ You have domain expertise and entrepreneurial experience in your industry — you understand the problem you're solving because you've lived it ✓ You're self-employed or have made the leap to full-time founder ✓ You have skin in the game — capital committed, runway secured, or revenue generating ✓ You bring a network and perspective worth sharing ✓ You're here to build relationships, not to sell services **This evening is NOT for you if:** ✗ You're an agency owner, consultant, or freelancer looking for clients ✗ You're a developer or designer seeking projects ✗ You don't have a concrete SaaS concept (even if pre-revenue, you need clarity on what you're building) ✗ You're looking for a co-founder or technical partner ✗ You're exploring "maybe starting something someday" We keep this room tight for a reason. Every seat matters. If you're not sure you qualify, you probably don't — and that's okay. There are plenty of other events for exploration. This one is for execution. **What to expect:** * Radical candor. We skip the highlight reels. Expect honest conversations about what's actually working, what's failing, and what keeps you up at night. * Quality over quantity. You'll leave with 3-5 meaningful connections, not 50 business cards you'll never follow up on. * Exceptional hospitality. The food, wine, and atmosphere are carefully curated. You're here to do important work — you deserve an environment that matches. **Cost:** Everybody pays what they order (separate bills, seperate checks). There is no further participation fee.

New Year's walk: 7.5 km 'Rondje Singel' from Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn
New Year's walk: 7.5 km 'Rondje Singel' from Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn
For the New Year, we're going to do something a little different than usual: we're going for a walk in the evening, around the city center of Utrecht, and for drinks afterwards! We'll be meeting at Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn train station and depart at 7.30PM. We'll then walk towards the Singel canal and will follow it all around the city center until we get back to Vaartsche Rijn. All together the walk will be about 7.5 km and we'll pass by several points of interest, such as Nijntje Pleintje, the Sonnenborgh Observatory and Park Lepelenburg. After the walk, we're going for drinks at a nearby place. Please register for this in the separate event (link will follow soon), so we can reserve a space that's big enough in a bar nearby Vaartsche Rijn. Do you think about joining, but you're not sure if it's something for you? Let us explain. Utrecht Hiking Community aims to organise one hike per month in or around Utrecht. If you're in for a hike with a bunch of friendly other hiking enthusiasts, you're very welcome to join, no matter whether you're an expat, local, nomad, student, professional, beginner, alone or with friends. The hikes are a way to meet people while being active and going to places you otherwise might not be going to. We call this 'Social Hiking'. If your aim is to hike fast, we might not be the right hiking group for you though. We're organising our hikes together with UR-Glocal, the organisation of expats in Utrecht Region organising several kinds of activities. Please try to arrive to Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn train station on time. 7.30PM is the time that we want to depart. If you're late due to unforeseen circumstances, please write on WhatsApp to +31621177691. We can't keep the whole group waiting for you, but we can send you our live location so you can try to catch up with us. At Vaartsche Rijn train station there is a toilet (paid), a bike shed and a parking garage. For those coming by car, the hourly rate in this parking garage is €3,50, but they also have an evening ticket, valid from 7PM until midnight, for €8,73 (if the prices don't change for the New Year). Please wear good shoes for this walk. Some parts of the route are paved, but most are unpaved and might be a bit muddy. Please also have a look at the weather forecast and dress accordingly. Participation in the hike is free of charge, but as we do make some costs in organising (MeetUp subscription, transport costs), donations are very welcome. If you'd like to support us, you can do that via this link: https://www.ing.nl/payreq/m/?trxid=pjugtUBpLwTSnvghmxPW1nItq1VvXOzm For an impression of previous hikes, check our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/utrecht.hiking.community If you're having any questions, please let me know. See you at Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn train station on Saturday 3rd of January, 7.30PM!

IN-PERSON Book Club Meeting - I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN by Jaqueline Harpman
IN-PERSON Book Club Meeting - I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN by Jaqueline Harpman
'I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN' by Jaqueline Harpman "As far back as I can recall, I have been in the bunker." A young woman is kept in a cage underground with thirty-nine other females, guarded by armed men who never speak; her crimes unremembered... if indeed there were crimes. 'The youngest of forty—a child with no name and no past—she survives for some purpose long forgotten in a world ravaged and wasted. In this reality where intimacy is forbidden—in the unrelenting sameness of the artificial days and nights—she knows nothing of books and time, of needs and feelings. Then everything changes... and nothing changes. A young woman who has never known men—a child who knows of no history before the bars and restraints—must now reinvent herself, piece by piece, in a place she has never been... and in the face of the most challenging and terrifying of unknowns: freedom.' Please read the book and join us for a lively discussion (in English) about the contents during our afternoon book club meeting. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- PLEASE NOTE: This is an IN-PERSON event in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. Please cancel your attendance in advance if you are unable to join, so that those on the waitlist can participate. Looking forward to seeing you all IN REAL LIFE then! Best regards, Sandra

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
