Nine entrepreneurs out of ten fail. The main cause is not a lack of talent or capital. It is isolation.
This manifesto is our answer: turn founder isolation into collective force and make mutual aid the first growth lever of tech startups.
The strength of a startup is measured by the density of its network.
The world around us
The tech ecosystem is flourishing, but remains too siloed. The modern entrepreneur faces extreme complexity and can no longer survive as a lone wolf. Collective intelligence is the only viable response to a 90% failure rate.
Our horizon
We aim to become the leading catalyst of the European tech ecosystem: an open hub where people do not simply network, but co-create ventures and compound one another’s growth.
Make mutual aid the first growth lever of tech startups.
We adapt the best of San Francisco’s pay-it-forward mindset: helping easily, sharing context openly and creating the decisive encounters that change a company’s trajectory.
A culture of action.
Pay it forward
Share your time, contacts and expertise without expecting an immediate return.
Radical ambition
Think big and make unapologetic ambition feel normal.
Action & pragmatism
Inspiration is not enough. Connections must create advice, hires, customers or ventures.
No-bullshit authenticity
Share the difficulties with as much honesty as the wins. Failure is part of the game.
Bring people together through experience.
We bring founders, technical experts and experienced operators together around concrete problems.
Peer dinners
Address the real problems in an intimate setting, without filters.
Afterworks & rooftops
Release the pressure, celebrate and widen the field of opportunity.
Hackathons & workshops
Test synergies in real time and create new ventures from within the community.
