Bloom Network Founders' Feast! - Cycle 8
Meet the people who can make a difference, because community is strength.
Bloom Network is a curated members’ community for ambitious students, founders, and builders who believe that meaningful relationships are the foundation of long-term growth.
You are invited to join us for our Bloom Network Founders' Feast: The Builder’s Table (Peak x Antler × Carbon Equity × GoDutch), taking place on Wednesday, 13th of May at Canvas (Volkshotel Restaurant)
This edition of the Founders' Feast brings together founders, operators, and investors who are actively shaping what's next and who understand that the right conversation at the right moment can change everything.
Every week we bring together a room of ambitious builders. This week's three guests are all different, but they share one thing: each of them is doing something specific and hard, and doing it very well.
At Antler, Job connects with European founders at day zero. Running the Amsterdam residency, alongside the Berlin and Munich hubs, he is privy to the forefront of Europe’s most promising founders, bringing startups to fruition. Identifying potential in the early days requires a trained eye and Job has mastered the art.
Marnix founded StuDocu, scaling it into a global student platform used by millions, building one of Europe’s most widely adopted education marketplaces from the ground up. After stepping back from operations, he joined Peak as a Partner, where he now backs early-stage founders across Europe.
After a career investing and building, Jacqueline has founded Carbon Equity as her answer to a structural problem in private markets: her team built the infrastructure to let individuals invest in top-tier climate PE funds and has moved over €200M into climate tech.
Wesley founded an e-sports events company in 2017, headed to Antler Berlin's residency to build and joined GoDutch earlier this year as the Commercial Lead, building the sales engine of a fast-growing Dutch neobank from scratch.
Four diametrically different people, in four different industries
Two things in common: they're exceptional at what they do, and they'll be sitting at Bloom's table on the 13th.
Europe's next generation of builders doesn't lack ambition. It lacks access. Access to the right capital, the right networks, the right rooms.
That's exactly what Tulip exists to change. And tonight's guests are proof that it's already happening.
Job is redefining who gets backed at the earliest stage. Jacqueline is opening private climate markets to new investors. Wesley is rebuilding the financial tools that SME's will use every day, starting from the assumption that everyone deserves better.
Three different sectors. One shared conviction: the old gatekeepers are losing their grip.

What to Expect
This evening is designed to maximise depth, not noise.
We intentionally keep the group smaller to increase the density of meaningful conversations. This is a no-pitch zone. No fundraising. No selling. No positioning. Just builders meeting builders.
Bloom is about long-term thinking, trust, and increasing the density of ambition in Europe. Every dinner is a step toward that.
