Afterhours is an invite-only community that hosts online networking events.
We believe that frequently connecting with innovators across industries and regions arms us with the network we need to accelerate our impact.
We are the same team that built Conversation Starter, the platform used by global clients like Deloitte, the European Space Agency, Antwerp University and Startup Amsterdam to host 150.000+ meetings.
