Founders Mesh: Curated Salon for Startup Founders & Investors

An invitation-reviewed evening for startup and scaleup founders alongside a selected circle of actively deploying investors, at Flâneur Coffee Club in the 1st. Founders Mesh started in Amsterdam and runs editions in Los Angeles; this Paris edition is hosted with bunq, the Amsterdam-born digital bank for cross-border businesses, which is joining the Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin dates. Format: conversation first, with optional beer-crate pitches capped at two minutes, no decks and no judges. First drink included, wine and music after. The room is capped and attendance reviewed to keep the founder–investor balance; the organisers are explicit that the ticket is paid to filter for commitment rather than to cover entry. The price is not published on the listing. Why go: a vetted, deliberately small founder–investor room in a city where most of the alternative is a 200-person mixer. Best for founders raising soon and investors who want fewer, better conversations.
