SideNight: Mauro Mariani from Mangrove

August 29th, 2007

SoupToday I will spend the whole day preparing dinner for tonight’s SideNight event. We have Mauro Mariani from Mangrove Capital Partners as a special guest and invited a few investors and entrepreneurs to join us for dinner. The purpose of this dinner is dinner by the way, no presentations or formal agenda just good food and good company. These are all the people we invited:

Paul Schroder (Capitals C Ventures), Ron Belt (Lowland Capital), Frans Biegstraaten (True Solar Autonomy), Vincent Everts (Interimic), Martijn Hamann (Van den Ende & Deitmers), Arnout Hemel (Microsoft), Ewout Prins (Holland Venture), Floris van Alkemade (Solid Capital), Barend van den Brande (Big Bang Ventures), Pim Volkers (Verilabs), John de Koning (Life Science), Ties van der Laan (Ties Corporate Finance), Dirk Kersten (Gilde Healthcare Partners), Helga Bonsink (PriceWaterhouseCooper), Raul van der Linden (Blue Circle), Aad Demenint (Parklane), Tessa Sterkenburg (Elsevier), Yoav Andrew Leitersdorf (YL Ventures) and Guido van Nispen (Veronica and DCIF)

Segway joy rideDorothee and I went to the Makro this morning to buy all the food and drinks and after that we bought bread at ‘Bakken with Passie’ and a bunch of new plates. At previous dinners we always had to get out my old plates. Now we can have more than 20 people with matching plates and glasses.

I’ll post some photos as soon as the dinner is over.

    Looks like an interesting evening with interesting people! On a more practical note; the pictures of the soup are very intriguing, is there a recipe available?

    It was (as usual) a great pleasure meeting you guys again. A special thanks to you Boris, your wife, Patrick and Dorothee for making this happen. I met a lot of interesting people and I’m looking forward to the next one. As promised I’ll bring a special Italian drink.
