Great to kick off the year at TNW City with lots of our community coming together to 🥂 to a great year ahead of Dutch tech. When it comes to networking I believe 'less is more' is very much in fashion. With deeper and more meaningful connections favourable to the big buzz that we've seen in the past. Actually, just last week this very room hosted the founders of all of the Dutch startups who secured investment in 2024 - $2.4billon worth Maybe the next big things that come to light in 2025 were here last night? I met a few founders that I'd hedge my bets on. Thanks, Pien Lucassen and Izzy Sayers of KPMG NL Emerging Giants for your support in making it happen!
