Finder: The Amsterdam Co-Founder Match Event — Meet. Match. Master.

About Finder
Finder is a live event where visionaries meet builders. We do this in Amsterdam, together with all the city’s key valorisation parties, to make it easier for innovators to meet and build what’s next. It’s a moment designed for anyone ready to explore entrepreneurship — students, researchers, and experienced founders alike. Whether you already have a startup or are looking for one to join, this is your space to connect, co-create, and discover your next big opportunity.

It’s more than networking — it’s an Amsterdam space for chemistry, collaboration, and creation. Meet. Match. Master.

Finder is where startups take off. It brings together founders, innovators, and builders to connect, find the perfect match and kick ideas into action.

The Finder Colors
To make connecting easy (and fun), every participant gets a Finder keychain or bracelet — your color tells your story:

🟥 Red — I have an idea/startup and I’m looking for a co-founder.
🟧 Orange — I don’t have an idea yet, but I want to join one.
⬛ Black — I’m here to mentor, support, or invest.
⬜ White — I’m exploring, learning, and open to inspiration.

Partners
Finder is proudly organized in collaboration with:
AMS Institute, Venture Centre HvA, DLAB, and Startup Village Amsterdam. Together, we’re building the place where Amsterdam’s next generation of startups begins, one connection at a time.

Finder is the first in a series of events designed to make it easier for founders, students, and innovators to connect and collaborate in Amsterdam’s growing startup scene.

Find your who before you build your what.
Meet. Match. Master.
