VANE Zurich – The Room Returns

Different session. Same ambition.

An official Startup Nights side event.

VANE Zurich — The Room ReturnsVANE is Switzerland’s network for the people who build and fund companies. Founders, venture capitalists, angels, family-office principals and operators, meeting through training rather than dinners, receptions and panels.

The first session brought the founding cohort together. The second builds on it: familiar faces, considered introductions and new people worth knowing.

The workout is the medium. The Room is the point. An hour shoulder-to-shoulder, followed by time to talk. No panels, no pitches, no seating plan.

4th November 2026 · Barry's Switzerland, Zürich · 42 places, by invitation.

The evening

20:15 — Arrival and registration20:40 — The session. 60 minutes, coached, high intensity.21:40 — Recovery. Drinks and conversation.

The room

The VANE community actively build, back or fund companies. Each guest list is composed for the session, bringing together people with a reason to meet, not just a reason to attend.

The network grows through member referrals and vetted applications. Attendance remains subject to confirmation, and every invitation is personal.

Beyond the session

The flagship brings the network together quarterly and stays invitation-only. Between sessions, the monthly run club and hosted padel tournaments create more ways to meet, stay connected and bring new people into the community.

One session starts a conversation. The network gives it somewhere to go.

Before you come

Bring training gear. If the session returns to Barry’s Zürich, the studio provides changing rooms, lockers and towels for class and showers.

An official photographer and videographer will cover the evening. Photo and video use and post event introductions are governed by the VANE Event Terms and Privacy Notice, which you accept when registering.

Your invitation is personal and non-transferable. If you cannot make it, please tell us early so we can offer your place to someone else.

The participation fee will be CHF 50. It includes a coached Barry's session, a smoothie, a goodies and a great time with fellow founders, investors and operators. See you in the VANE ROOM!
