What we are

Innovation, activated.

People often ask what exactly we do. Here’s the short and honest answer and a 3 min film.

the role Venture Café plays every Thursday

An organization that brings together the people of a place — founders, investors, researchers, corporates, students and government — and turns latent connections into active ones.
A convener that lowers the barriers to meeting, then gets out of the way. We host the room; the ecosystem does the work.

A couple of minutes inside a Thursday Gathering: the people, the energy, and why showing up changes things.
