Mesh Collective
New York

On May 20 Mesh Collective and FJ Labs gather a group of New York's top Nordic Founders and top tier VCs for a dinner overlooking the NYC skyline.

Request invite

The Nordics have the critical mass to become a startup superpower. We have an abundance of high quality startups, established VCs, and we lead Europe in unicorn density and top-tier talent.

Mesh Collective x New York brings together the best Nordic founders located in the Big Apple and connects them with top local VCs; strengthening the Nordic ecosystem beyond our borders.

Dinner overlooking the Manhattan skyline

Thanks to Founding Partner Fabrice Grinda and our friends at FJ Labs, our first event in New York is going to be a special one as we will host the group in Grinda's apartment, overlooking the NY skyline.

In true Collective style we will keep the content light, but have invited a special guest - Erik Bernhardsson, Founder & CEO of Modal Labs - to join us for a short fireside.

“The Nordics consistently produce globally minded, capital-efficient companies, and strengthening the Nordic founder network in New York builds a powerful bridge between two leading innovation ecosystems. With just ~26 million people, the region has created more than 80 unicorns, forcing startups to think globally from day one.

In FJ Labs we believe in supporting Nordic founders by deepening this highly-curated and trusted peer network that helps the next generation of companies scale faster across the Atlantic.”

- Arne H. Halleraker, FJ Labs
