Network with local entrepreneurs
🚀 Organized by Founder Institute, Notion Ambassadors & Betahaus
Calling all founders, startup teams, and Notion enthusiasts! Join us for Betabooze: Notion for Founders, an evening of pitching, networking, and discovering how Notion can become your startup’s one-stop shop for productivity, growth, and collaboration.
Founder Institute (FI) is the world’s largest pre-seed startup accelerator, helping early-stage entrepreneurs turn ideas into funded companies through mentorship, structured programs, and global startup resources. If you're serious about launching your startup, FI is where you get the support you need to scale.
Notion is an all-in-one workspace that combines notes, wikis, databases, and project management—helping individuals and teams organize, collaborate, and build better workflows. Whether you're a solo founder or scaling a startup, Notion can be your go-to "one-stop shop" for managing everything from content creation and CRM to team onboarding and task automation.

✨ Content & SEO Workflows – Managing blog content & LinkedIn strategy with Notion
✨ HR & Operations – From onboarding pipelines to automated task reminders
✨ CRM & Growth Systems – Streamlining customer interactions & internal processes
✨ Notion for Product Teams – Organizing roadmaps, feature tracking, and user feedback
