Keep the conversation
going between nights.

The events are monthly, but the community is always on. After your first Startup Valley event you get an invite to our Slack — where founders, investors and operators from all 25 cities trade intros, hire each other, and pick the next room to drop into.

Anyone deep on dev-infra seed rounds in EU? Saw Forge at the Amsterdam night — want to compare notes on pricing.

⟶ How to get in
1
Attend an event

Any pitch night, panel or mixer in any city counts. Anyone can buy a ticket or RSVP to a free one.

2
Get your invite

Within a day of the event, your invite link lands in your inbox. One per attendee.

3
You're in for good

Membership stays as long as you're part of the scene. No fee, no renewal.

🔒Invite-only on purpose. No cold sign-ups. It keeps the signal high and the room full of people who actually show up.
⟶ What's inside

Six rooms you'll actually open.

# intros

New members drop a line — what you build, what you need.

# hiring

Roles and candidates from across the network. Most active channel.

# fundraising

Founders compare notes; investors lurk (and reach out).

# show-and-tell

Ship something? Post it. The community is your first 100 users.

# city-channels

One per city — local meetups, recs, who's around this week.

# off-topic

The good stuff. Coffee, books, where to eat in your city.

The door opens at the event.

Find a night in your city, walk in, and the invite follows. That's the only way in — and it's the whole point.
