Business Lunch Talk (BLT) Groningen

About this event

BLT stands for Business Lunch Talk, but it’s also a good excuse to eat a sandwich while hearing what it’s actually like to start a company.

This is where curious students, researchers, and future founders gather to hear unfiltered stories from real entrepreneurs who’ve built (and sometimes blown up) their own ventures.

What to expect:
Each BLT is a casual, one-hour lunch event where an invited founder shares their journey: the wins, the flops, the pivots, and everything in between. You’ll hear what it really takes to start something from scratch, and maybe get inspired to try it yourself. Expect a good story, a good crowd, and a seriously good sandwich.

Why come?

• You want to hear what it’s really like, not just the shiny bits 

• You’re into the idea of building something

• Space to ask questions, chat, and connect

• You like sandwiches

What’s with the rocket part?

Good question. At this event, you’ll get The Flame, that ignites your entrepreneurial journey.

The first piece of a miniature rocket. Attend all four events, collect all four pieces (Flame, Engine, Body, Cockpit), and you’ll have a full rocket by the end. Each piece marks a new stage in your startup journey, from first spark to full launch. It’s a physical token of your curiosity, commitment, and growing know-how.

BLTs are your starting point. Come for the sandwich, stay for the story, and walk away with your first step toward building something of your own.
