Founders Mesh: The Year-End Unwind | Founders & Investors Networking
While corporates throw office parties, founders throw resilience.
Time & Location
Dec 10, 2025, 6:30 PM – 11:00 PM
cornerstore, Papaverweg 11, 1032 KD Amsterdam, Netherlands
About the event
The year’s almost done. Startups have grown, crashed, pivoted, downsized, raised, or rage-quit Notion.
But somehow, we’re still here, and that deserves a toast.
While everyone else celebrates targets and bonuses, we’ll celebrate progress, persistence, and the glorious mess of building things that matter.
It’s not a “holiday party.”
It’s a collective exhale; a night for founders and investors to drop the pitch decks, pick up a drink, and remind ourselves why we do this.
What awaits you
Smart People, Zero Pretension
The familiar Founders Mesh crowd: builders, funders, dreamers, and doers; reconnecting before we all disappear into 2026 planning decks.
Short & Sweet Pitches
Our signature beer-crate moments. No decks, no judges, just 2-minute bursts of startup energy and real stories.
Good Beats, Better Drinks
A DJ set that starts conversations, not drowns them. And drinks & snacks by cornerstore, because they know how to do it best.
A Proper Toast
To the wins, the fuckups, and everything in between.
The Essentials
Date: Wednesday, December 10
