Find your co-founder

The Most Important Hire You’ll Ever Make.

Finding a co-founder is one of the most critical decisions in your startup journey. The right match accelerates growth. The wrong one slows everything down.
At Startups Village Amsterdam, we highlight what founders need to know to make this decision right — from insights to relevant co-founder events across Amsterdam and the Netherlands.

FYCF Events:

Great companies don’t start solo—they start here.

  • 13 March | 13:30-17:00 | Meet your Co Founder | @YESDelft!

    A workshop aimed at helping you make connections and find potential co-founders.

    Meet your co-founder is organised by the team of YES!Delft, the leading high tech incubator in Europe. This edition will take place in YES!Delft HQ in Delft.

    During the Meet your co-founder, you’ll have the opportunity to either pitch your tech startup or present yourself to potentially find a talent match. Whether you are a single founder, part of a founding team, or an entrepreneurial-minded individual, you’ll gain the tools and connections necessary to find a co-founder for your startup.

    For who?

    - Everyone who wants to be a founder of a tech startup.
    - Ready to start within 6 months
    - A business idea is not required.

    Participation is free, but registration is necessary.

    We will select participants based on the best potential matches and a fit with YES!Delft.
