Thursday Gathering
Each week we connect creators, entrepreneurs, investors, academics, corporates, students and visionaries to build strong, inclusive, equitable innovation ecosystems in cities throughout the world. We believe that meaningful ideas and big changes are sparked when spontaneity collides with intention.

No matter your industry, aspirations or background, there’s a place and a purpose for you at Venture Café.
Welcome! We can’t wait to meet you.
You belong here. Yes, you.
We believe innovation is how we make life better, for everyone. Every week, we bring together founders, investors, researchers, students, corporates, and dreamers to build innovation ecosystems that are strong, inclusive, and equitable, in cities around the world. We believe the best ideas happen when spontaneity meets intention, and when the right people end up in the same room at the right moment.
Through entrepreneur-led talks, panels, workshops, 1:1 advising, demos, and plenty of hallway conversation, our programming lowers the barriers to building a business and strengthens the community around it.
