WHO IS THIS FOR? European founders, VCs, operators, and our friends from across the U.S. startup ecosystem!
The European Startup Embassy is officially turning ONE, and we’re celebrating one unforgettable year of building Europe’s base in Silicon Valley! 💚
It has been a JOURNEY. From rejected visas, to getting burglarized, to finding a tarot card on the ground that literally said “JUSTICE.” 😀
But look at what we built together in just one year: 💚 525+ official ESE members 🎤 100+ events organized 🌍 3,000+ people attending our events 🤝 2,700+ founders, investors, and leaders in our broader network
Through our coworking, coliving, events, and trusted U.S. network, we help European founders raise capital, win customers, hire talent, and build a real presence in Silicon Valley.
Now it’s time to bring everyone together, celebrate YEAR ONE, and kick off an even bigger YEAR TWO!
