United Leaders

What United Leaders does

United Leaders B.V. is a Dutch events services company that organizes invitation-only C-level leadership summits across four European cities: Amsterdam, Zurich, Brussels, and Stockholm. The company serves a two-sided audience: C-level executives attend free of charge in exchange for their participation, while vetted solution providers, branded as Business Partners, pay for access to this curated executive pool under a Business Partnership Program. Events are structured around named formats, including Convergence Exchange, Innovation in Focus, Synergy Meets, and Collaboration Factory, with themes spanning Tech & Data, Cyber Security, and Future Finance, and a guaranteed minimum of 20 executives per event.

The underlying operating capability is event curation, executive outreach, and partnership sales rather than a proprietary technology platform; there is no disclosed AI/ML stack, software product, or patent portfolio. Distribution is reinforced by 56+ enterprise logos and a 10+ year operating history under founder, Partner, and CEO Raphael Baumann, with supporting LinkedIn and Instagram channels. GDPR alignment is in place across the European footprint.

Revenue is generated primarily through Business Partnership Program fees from solution providers; no revenue, funding rounds, or ARR figures are publicly disclosed. The operation is self-funded, with a headcount of 1-10 employees and upcoming summits scheduled for November 2026 and March 2027, including the new Brussels and Stockholm launches and the Future Finance vertical.

Revenue model

1. Business Partnership Programs: Vetted solution providers and solution providers pay to participate in United Leaders events, gaining direct access to C-level decision-makers from leading European companies. Partners receive guaranteed minimum executive attendance (minimum 20 executives per event), personalized matchmaking (Synergy Meets), and market intelligence on latest challenges and trends.
2. Executive Participation (Complimentary): C-level executives attend events at no cost as United Leaders selectively welcomes qualified Business Partners. This model creates a high-quality, vetted environment without sales pitches or unprofessional representatives, maintaining the exclusivity and value of the event for paying partners.
