Why we builtAureum.
A room worth showing up for, built by two founders who couldn't find one.
We couldn't find the room we wanted to be in.
Anna and Maroussia 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.
So we built the opposite. Drinks, coffee, dinners and masterclasses with one rule: people come to give as much as they take. Aureum is a non-profit, so nobody in the room is selling you anything.
Inspire. Connect. Build.
Inspire
Skills taught plainly. Ideas you use the next morning, not ones you nod along to.
Connect
Rooms chosen by hand. One honest conversation is worth ten transactional ones.
Build
A collaborator, a co-founder, a first customer. What starts in the room rarely stays there.
The two who started it.
