Good conversations don’t happen by accident.
They happen in the right room.

Une soirée pensée pour celles et ceux qui construisent.

This is an invitation-only Founders Mesh evening for startup and scaleup founders, alongside a carefully selected circle of active investors.

Intimate by design. Curated with care. Built for conversations that move beyond small talk.

Born in Amsterdam, flourishing in LA. Founders Mesh is back in Paris, this time together with bunq.

You can expect

A crowd that makes sense
Founders actively building. Investors actively deploying. International, balanced, and deliberately low on ego.

Conversations That Go Somewhere
This isn’t a room for collecting LinkedIn connections.
It’s a room for starting relevant follow-ups.

Our beer-crate pitches
Optional, informal, and capped at 2 minutes. No decks. No judges. A few cool & strong stories, then back to conversation.

The first cool drink is on us
Simply put.

bunq joins us in Paris
If the name is new to you: bunq is the Amsterdam-born European digital bank built for people and businesses operating across borders.

They’re joining us across Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin, and they’re not arriving empty-handed. Expect a few genuinely useful bunq perks for attendees, the kind actually worth claiming.

The kind of room we like
This edition lands at Flâneur Coffee Club, Paris 1er. Central, intimate, a little hidden away, and very Paris.

And don’t let the “Coffee Club” part mislead you. We’ll have great wine, proper drinks, and music going all night.🍸

Why This Format Works

We cap the room to protect quality.
We review attendance to shape balance.
We keep it paid to keep it intentional.

Because when the room is right, everything else becomes easier.

Why This Is Paid

Because intentional rooms don’t build themselves.

We cap capacity. We vet attendance. We protect founder–investor balance. We design the format.

The ticket isn’t about entry. It’s about commitment and quality.

Free events optimize for volume. We optimize for alignment.
