Founder meet-up

​On Monday, June 23, just before the NOM Midsummer Festival kicks off, Founded and NOM are hosting an exclusive community meetup for startups and scale-ups in the North.

​Why should you join? One hour. Two panels. Six speakers. And your voice at the center. We’ll zoom in on what’s working in our ecosystem—and where we can level up.

​Bertwin Kampman (Managing Director, Founded) will share where our startup and scale-up scene stands today. Then, together with other founders, investors, and ecosystem players, we’ll dive into what’s next: what are the lessons learned so far What do you need to grow further? And how can Founded, NOM, and others help you move the needle—starting tomorrow?

​What to expect? A high-energy, focused session from 15:30–16:30 featuring:

• ​A quick ecosystem update—what’s hot and where the gaps are

• ​⁠Ecosystem Panel hosted by Anne-Wil Lucas (NOM), with Bertwin Kampman (Founded), Mariken Gaandersen (BeStart) and Niels Palmers (NOM)
