A premier networking platform for founders, operators, and investors. Join weekly events, monthly pitch nights, and an always-on community.
CIBA Startups is more than just a networking hub — it's a community designed for the next generation of innovators, with reach extending well beyond any single city through our flagship annual event. We bridge the gap between bold ideas and reality by providing a high-energy platform where founders, investors, students, and visionaries connect to exchange insights, challenge the status quo, and organize impactful events. Whether you're looking for your first co-founder, seeking peer feedback, or ready to lead your own startup mixer, CIBA provides the ecosystem to turn your entrepreneurial ambition into a scalable future. Join us in shaping the landscape of tomorrow's business, one connection at a time.
Great connections shouldn't end when the event does. CIBACircle keeps founders, operators, and investors in the same room every day — so momentum from one conversation compounds into the next.
Find co-founders, mentors, and investors who match where your venture is headed — not just who happened to be in the room.
Join focused circles by stage, industry, and interest. Share wins, swap feedback, and solve problems alongside peers who get it.
Discover and register for upcoming events, pitch nights, and workshops — and keep the conversation going long after they end.
CIBACircle is the online home of the CIBA Startups community — a members' network where the connections made at our events keep growing year-round. Inside the Circle, founders, investors, and builders share their ventures, join startup groups, discover and register for upcoming gatherings, and stay close to the people moving the ecosystem forward. It's where a first hello at a mixer becomes an ongoing conversation: post updates, find collaborators, get peer feedback, and plug into a network that's active every day, not just on event nights. Membership is open — create your profile, join the Circle, and become part of the community shaping tomorrow's startups.
Funding rounds, founder moves, and ecosystem shifts — curated weekly.
