Keynote – Rolf Middendorp: Lessons learned by a serial entrepreneur

Rolf Middendorp is a seasoned operator and growth advisor with a 15+ year track record in scaling tech companies. He spent time at global leaders – Google and Stripe – and has also founded startups.

In his talk, Rolf will share hands-on lessons from scaling teams, building operations across markets, and navigating the growth journey from startup to scale-up – insights especially valuable for founders and early-stage teams.

Fireside Chat – Eva Faltusová, Investor at Rockaway Ventures

Eva focuses on energytech, advanced manufacturing, and dual-use technologies-— supporting Europe’s industrial and energy resilience. Before joining venture capital, she worked at management consulting firms advising on large-scale transformation, sustainability, and private equity across energy and industrial sectors. As an investor, she combines strategic consulting discipline with practical portfolio-building experience.

Eva will reveal how VCs – and Rockaway Ventures in particular – spot promising startups, evaluate opportunities, and work hand-in-hand with entrepreneurs to grow impactful ventures (especially in deep tech, energy, and industrial space).

Why you should join:

This is your chance to hear, directly from operators and investors, what really matters when you build and scale a tech venture – from early-stage operations to funding decisions and strategic growth. Expect real stories, practical lessons, and a room full of founders, investors, and startup builders.

As always: good people, real conversations, and meaningful connections.
