NAF-Biz: What is it like to be the first U.S. employee of a Dutch scale-up?

Ticket sales have ended.

Join us for an evening of insights & networking organized by NAF-Biz at the new Rabobank offices in New York.

Moderated by Adriaan Kolff, Founder & CEO of Matchr, this candid panel brings together two early U.S. hires who’ve lived the experience. Expect honest lessons on navigating cultural differences, building trust across borders, and scaling a U.S. sales team — and what it’s really like to work with Dutch founders.
