CIC Monthly: The Startup Hustle

Join us at CIC Rotterdam for our monthly event, The Startup Hustle!

What happens when the dream of entrepreneurship runs into reality? Join TEDx speaker and former serial entrepreneur Zakaria Jaiathe as he shares the emotional truth of building, burning out, and choosing to return.

If you’ve ever built something that nearly broke you, this is your 30-minute reset.

Location: CIC Rotterdam, Stationsplein, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Info: Start the evening by connecting with fellow professionals and innovators from the vibrant CIC community. Share ideas and build valuable connections ahead of the panel discussion.

Info: In this keynote, TEDx speaker and former entrepreneur Zakaria Jaiathe offers a raw and reflective look at the personal side of scaling: the highs, the tolls, and the turning points.


It’s a story not just about growth, but about resilience, self-awareness, and the courage to start again, on your own terms.

Info: Still carrying a question that hasn’t been answered, about growth, burnout, or what comes next? This is your space to ask.

Info: Wrap up the evening with casual drinks and networking. An excellent opportunity to continue the conversation, exchange ideas, and forge new connections in the life sciences and innovation space.
