What we do
Superconnectors is an event where startups can find the right solution to their most critical ask with the help of a Superconnector. This could be an introduction to someone in a specific market, to the right investor, to someone with unique knowledge or someone with exceptional access to talent.
Founders pitch their most critical ask to a group of Superconnectors. The Superconnectors then compete for the best connection to solve their ask! The startups will decide who can help in the best way.
OUR mission
Every startup is looking for their breakthrough. But this doesn’t come from business-as-usual. It comes from life-changing opportunities which are tied to someone. Think of the teacher that introduced you to your first client, the co-founder that took a bet on you, or the random person that becomes your investor. At Superconnectors, we engineer breakthroughs.
Expand your network in an exciting setting during the Superconnectors event.
Meet a large international community of entrepreneurs, investors, and experts in scaling and innovation.
Superconnectors help startups grow into their next phase.
After the event, our Superconnectors and team make sure that the follow-ups happen.
Our impact
We have created a strong national network within the Netherlands, resulting in events taking place in the most important Dutch cities throughout the year.
Superconnectors is also part of international events like South by Southwest (SXSW), Slush, Websummit, and other tech and networking events worldwide.
About us
The event was a result of a collaboration between UP!Rotterdam, 42Workspace, Varias, Innovation Quarter, and Tech Advocates and it's the first of its kind in the Netherlands.
Superconnectors has been organized in 2021 and 2022 as part of the Upstream festival in Rotterdam. Since 2022, Varias and Misterawesome have joined forces to turn Superconnectors into a global concept that can match the likes of TED, Fuckup nights, and Pecha Kucha.
OUR TEAM
great STORIES
"The energy was fun. It was not your typical start-up event. The tension was not related to the founders but more the competition between the Superconnectors. It was really light-hearted, fun and laughed a lot. Enjoyed it!"
‘‘Networking on steroids! Our promise to founders is ‘Make the network work for you’. And that’s exactly what Superconnectors delivered. Superconnectors was one of the best events we had during Upstream 2021.’’
"The fact that you brought a group of experienced people with a huge network together provided SO much value. The format makes it great to get the most out of it from the startup's perspective. It is like instead of one rocketship, you get the potential of 10 rocket ships glued together, to get you to the moon!"
