- do 8 oktober 2026, 09:00 – 12:00
A morning of brunch, networking and honest stories from queer tech founders. In the lead-up to Coming Out Day, at Capital C Bloemenmarkt in Amsterdam.
Following the success of the Female Founders Brunch, Capital C now hosts the Queer Founders Brunch: Tech Edition. It takes place on Thursday 8 October 2026, from 09:00 to 12:00. The event falls in the week before Coming Out Day (11 October) and Purple Friday (9 October). Capital C Bloemenmarkt organises it together with Identity.vc.
Why this event?
Great companies are rarely built alone. For queer founders, the LGBTQ+ community offers a real advantage: a network where shared experience builds trust quickly. Mentors share lessons, peers become collaborators, and doors open to customers and investors.
The programme
- Brunch and networking
- Queer tech founders share their founder journeys
- Honest conversations about highs, lows and lessons learned
- Q&A with the audience
- Networking with founders, investors and experts from the startup and tech ecosystem
These are not polished pitches. They are the real stories behind building a company.
Speakers
Dimi Abramov (Buildathon.eu), Stephan Reuther (GetVenta.ai) and Mare Santema (use/space).
Who is it for?
For queer tech founders, aspiring tech entrepreneurs and startup operators considering the leap. Investors, partners and allies are welcome too.
