We were in great company
Mesh LP/GP
April 2025
For our initial Collective event we invited family offices, endowments & foundations, institutional investors and HNWIs to meet up with the top tier of international venture at our venue Mesh Youngstorget in Oslo.
We gathered the American megafunds, the European leaders and the best Nordic funds - combined managing over 100 billion $.
Mesh Nusfjord
April 2025
Mesh Collective hosted select Nordic and international founders and investors at an unforgettable trip to Lofoten, Northern Norway. We connected the top of Nordic startup scene at an arctic resort in the most beautiful nature Norway has to offer.
Our goal was to kick off Mesh Collective with an action-packed programme fostering personal connections followed by trusted professional discussions. And in doing so, taking a small step towards unifying and mobilising the Nordic ecosystems.
Nordic Founders’ Dinners in SF
Throughout 2025
For our Nordic Founders’ Dinners in San Francisco we teamed up with Shack15 and Andreessen Horowitz to host Nordic top founders in the Bay area.
The dinners confirmed our thesis; there is both need and a momentum for the Nordic ecosystem at the moment but better connections across + SF is needed. Something we doubled down on a few months later for Mesh San Francisco.
The Nordic startup scene has an abundance of innovative startups, great VCs and the critical mass to be a startup superpower - we are the region in Europe with the highest density of unicorns and talent, and our goal should be to lead Europe in its mission to become more productive and innovative.
With 200+ founders & $500bn+ AUM of funds represented in our first year, Mesh Collective is here to help realise that potential - by acting as a bridge between the regions and create a gateway for international capital. Learn more about Mesh Collective.
Mesh Collective x Sommarminglet
April 2025
On June 5, Sommarminglet brought together leaders across tech, politics and culture to reflect, connect and look forward.
This year’s theme was Nordic exceptionalism, not as a boast, but as a responsibility. Discussed and celebrated from the Prime Minister’s call to action to Swedish house Mafia unreleased tracks.
Mesh Collective teamed up with Kinnevik to host a pre-dinner bringing together both founders, investors and current and former political ministers of the Nordics. .
Art & Oysters @TechBBQ
August 2025
For our first meetup in Copenhagen we invited Mesh Collective & friends to showcase the best of city: high-end food & culture.
At Intro-Outro art and fashion agency and with free-dived oysters & local wines by former Michelin chef Jonas Harboe, we connected 100 founders and investors of the top Nordic and international ecosystems in town for TechBBQ on day 0.
Mesh
San Francisco
October 2025
We believe in connecting the Nordic startup scene and bridging it to key startup hubs internationally. Therefore we invited a group of 150 brilliant Nordic founders and investors, based in the Nordics and SF, who was welcomed by Ben Horowitz and over 20 top-tier American VCs for a tight program designed for us to properly connect.
In true Mesh Collective style we jumped on surf boards, for morning runs, sauna sessions, bike rides, dinners, afterparties, visited NVIDIA and OpenAI, and much more.
