An Aureum evening · Amsterdam
We started Aureum because we couldn't find the room we wanted to be in.
Anna Kotcharyan (founder of Pay the Public) and Maroussia Tyl (founder of WOGO Amsterdam) had sat through enough networking to know the feeling. A room full of people scanning for a VC, quietly deciding whether you're worth their time. Ambition performed, rarely shared.
So we built the opposite. Dinners, drinks, masterclasses, workshops, coworking days: different rooms, one rule. People come to give as much as they take. Aureum is a non-profit, so no one is selling anything, and the evening can be exactly what it should be.
