Cities | London | December 2026

What to expect

Two days in London with a small group of Dutch scaleup founders, designed to help you sharpen your international go-to-market, test your messaging with the right people, and build useful relationships in one of the world's most important business hubs.

You'll be in the room as a peer to operators, founders, and investors — positioned for your expertise, not pitched at. Expect the kind of conversations that move a company forward: who your best-fit customers are, how they evaluate a solution like yours, and what investors want to see in a new market.

Please note: registering does not guarantee participation. We curate the group to ensure the strongest fit and the most value for everyone involved.

Why London

London offers unmatched depth of capital, enterprise buyers, and international talent — but getting value from that ecosystem depends on being deliberate about who you meet and what you want to learn. This trip helps you focus on the conversations that matter, pressure-test your positioning, and come away with a clearer view of where your next opportunities may come from.

What the trip is built around

Rather than a fixed conference-style programme, this is a curated founder trip shaped around the people and opportunities we bring into the room:

• relevant conversations with potential customers and ecosystem leaders
• investor access that shows how they think about international founders
• peer exchange with founders navigating similar questions
• practical discussion on GTM, expansion, partnerships, and market entry

The final agenda will be confirmed closer to the date, but the format will be intentionally small, interactive, and high-signal.

Questions this trip is built to answer

• Who is actually your ICP in the London market? How to identify the right buyers, qualify them early, and know what makes a prospect worth pursuing.
• How do investors and buyers evaluate you outside the Netherlands? The signals that matter at home aren't always the ones that matter abroad.
• What does a credible expansion story sound like? How founders frame market entry, proof points, and growth so they land with international buyers and investors.
• What can you learn from peers on the same path? Open discussion on what works, what doesn't, and where momentum comes from.
