IBC 2026
Join the global media and entertainment industry in Amsterdam and explore 1,250+ exhibitors, show-floor theatres and Future Tech. The Visitor Pass also includes a free travel pass for all event days.
World Trade Center Amsterdam, Golden Egg Check and StartupAmsterdam are joining forces to bring founders and investors together under one roof. The goal is simple: spark useful conversations, open doors to capital, and kick off real partnerships.
Golden Egg Check brings StartupRoulette, its matchmaking flagship event connecting founders actively raising a (pre-)seed round with investors who back companies at the earliest stages. Four 15-minute speed dates, carefully matched before the event. We pair founders and investors based on fit so the time at the table actually means something. If the match is right, it could be the start of your next round.
29 speed-date tables, and 1 with a twist: Pitching inside an elevator. Keep an eye in your inbox, you might be the one selected!
Once the Roulette wraps up the evening opens into informal drinks and mingling. Plenty of time to meet the wider room and have the conversations that don't fit into 15 minutes. It's also a chance to see WTC Amsterdam's new working spaces and grow your network, whether you're raising, investing, or just curious about what's being built right now.
Open to all digital startups in the Netherlands and the investors backing them.
Signing up doesn't guarantee a full speed date agenda. Matches are made based on investor focus and scope.
The deadline to sign up to the speed dates is on 22nd September 2026. Any registration after that day will go directly to the waiting list. Being on the waiting list does not ensure acceptance to the event.
