Founder & VC Coffee Meetup

About this event

Hey founders 👋

I’ll be in Lisbon for Web Summit, and I’d love to meet some of you in person. Let’s get together for an informal coffee hangout — no slides, no stage, no pitching required. Just real conversations about building, fundraising, navigating markets, and staying sane while doing all of that at once.

This is a small community meetup for startup founders, operators, and anyone building something ambitious. If you’ve been following my content, investing thesis, or weekly breakdowns — this is your chance to say hi and connect with other people on the same journey.

What to expect:

relaxed conversation, zero agenda

networking with other early-stage founders

open Q&A: ask anything about fundraising, GTM, hiring, pivots, or investor psychology

good coffee, good people, good energy

Cost:The meetup is free — just grab your own coffee/drink at the café.

Who should join:

founders (pre-seed → Series A)

indie hackers & product builders

deep-tech, SaaS , consumer — all welcome

anyone who believes in building boldly

Date & Time:📅 November 10⏰ 12:00 PM Lisbon time📍 Café location: Открыть в Google Maps

Registration:Click Attend to join. Space is limited so we can actually talk, not just wave at each other across a crowd.

Looking forward to meeting you IRL — let’s make this city a launchpad 🚀
