Sail & Scale: Networking Ride for Startup & Scaleup Founders

Summer doesn’t last forever, and neither does boat season in Amsterdam. So before the jackets and rain take over, we’re hosting three final Sail & Scale rides on our boat Les Mandarins this season.

​These are the no-topic, golden-hour sessions — the rides where it’s just about the people. A mix of our community: founders, investors, and enablers who actually build and back. As always, curated.

​No ecosystem tourists, just a boat, good drinks, meaningful conversations, and a curated group worth meeting.

​Why come?

– It’s the last chance this year to experience Sail & Scale on Les Mandarins (unless the weather surprises us 😎).

– You’ll meet people who matter (and who get it).

– You’ll leave with new connections, new ideas, and maybe (hopefully) a little sun on your face.

​Seats: 12 only, as always.

Format: 2.5 hours, golden hour networking, drinks & snacks included.

​Join us for one of the final sails of the season — because the canals are better than conference halls, and golden hour beats fluorescent lights every time.

​​Weather Disclaimer

​​☁️ In case the Amsterdam skies act up and boating becomes a no-go, we’ll reschedule the event. If the new date doesn’t work for you, no worries—we’ll refund your ticket, no hard feelings.

Curation Disclaimer

Our boat has just 12 seats — and demand often exceeds capacity. To keep the experience valuable, we curate each ride carefully. That means we reserve the right to cancel applications if needed, to ensure the right group dynamic on board.

This isn’t about titles or achievements — it’s about creating a mix of founders, investors, and enablers who connect well together. Every ride has a different flow, and that’s what makes it work.

If your spot is ever cancelled, you’ll of course be fully refunded — and it’s not a “no” to you, just a matter of fit for that particular edition. We’d love to see you on deck at a future ride.
