Openness, transparency and a collaborative community are what [we believe] we all strive for in the end - and it showed when we came together here.

We hosted the top 100 Dutch founders (post-series A) and 25 European VCs on Veronica ship - an offshore radio station ship anchored on the Dutch shoreline. Used by Radio Veronica to illegally broadcast music in the 60ties.

A massive thank you to Gillian Tans, President & CEO of Booking.com, Crisp founder Tom Peeters, Constance Scholten from Slingshot Ventures & Elastic CEO Steven Schuurman for their incredible openness during the firesides.

We then switched to the most "Dutch" boat on this planet - MS de Jordaan, enjoying a special-edition pub quiz, floor-rising dessert, an improptu concert and a classic ‘polonaise’ to round it all up.

We’re in this together. Now let’s make sure we can continue to enable individuals and organizations to focus on what’s most important: building successful, sustainable and impactful businesses together.
