On Thursday the 22nd of January Silicon Valley hotshot Ben Levy will give a keynote at the Startup Orgy venue in Amsterdam. Organized by DutchBasecamp in collaboration with WeWork and The Startup Orgy. The keynote will highlight some startup fundamentals, especially in the scaling-up phase.

Ben Levy is the co-founder of BootstrapLabs in San Francisco, a global venture investment company relocating the best technology startups to Silicon Valley to go global. As a frequent speaker on eco-system development, innovation and entrepreneurship, Ben spends the majority of his time helping BootstrapLabs portfolio companies achieve product/market fit, establish partnerships and raise follow-on funding.
