The Bet.
The community for founders, operators, VC building between New York and Europe.
Built by the ones who made the move.
Building across two continents is exciting but sometimes challenging. The Bet. brings together outliers who are creating companies, scaling teams, and investing across New York and Europe through curated events and lasting relationships.
EVENTS
Every event is designed to create conversations that change what happens next.
Every month, we bring the community together through thoughtfully curated gatherings. We keep them intentionally small so conversations go beyond small talk and turn into real relationships.
Community Drinks
A larger gathering where members reconnect, meet new faces, and expand their circle in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
WHY JOIN
More than a network. A circle that actually compounds.
The hardest part of building between NY and Europe isn't finding events; it's finding people you genuinely want in your corner. That's what The Bet. is built for.
The right people
Meet founders, operators, and investors who have already solved the problems you're facing. Conversations become introductions, partnerships, customers, hires and even friendships.
Trusted perspectives
Get candid advice from peers who have actually lived the experience, whether you're fundraising, hiring, expanding, or navigating a new market.
A place to belong
Networking events are often transactional. We intentionally create something different: intimate dinners and relaxed evenings where conversations continue long after the event ends.
