ABOUT THE TOPIC
Getting featured in the press poses many challenges for tech startups and scaleups: they are still unknown to many journalists, they struggle to find newsworthy events, and have little brand recognition. This becomes even more difficult when you have to deal with the press, considering that journalists receive hundreds of press releases each day.
Despite the challenges, to get leads, getting featured in the press is of crucial importance at this stage. It can help get your name out there and be recognized by a wider public. You may also attract new investors and partners without having to chase them, and your media exposure can help you attract more talent and leads
Many startups and scaleups desire to get featured in the press, but they simply do not know how. Who to reach out to and how to send a press release? Where to find contacts and which tone of voice to use? How to draft a compelling press pitch? The way you reach out to press greatly differs per industry, and the tech field requires a unique approach.
In this session, we will share top tools, tips and tricks on how to get your company featured in the press through low-budget techniques from a PR expert with years of experience in the global startup and tech scene.

The Philosophy of Tantra in Business
We welcome you to experience and embody an evening on how the Tantra philosophy can be applied in your life and work.
Lya, Olivier and Stephanie connected over the topic Tantra in Business during one of the KULA events and decides to bring this knowledge to you!
The philosophy of Tantra brings in new perspectives on work and life, in areas such as:
> Experiencing flow vs. goal setting drive
> Relationships at work and romantic relationships
> Sales; push vs pull and attract
> Setting boundaries as a leader or entrepreneur
Together with Diederik Wokke, Felice van der Sandt, Rutger de Rijk, and Julian Philbert, we have curated an interactive program for you to immerse yourself in the topic of Regenerative Thinking with the intention to give you new perspectives on your work, business, and/or investments and the world around you.
Some topics we'll discuss;
> What is the difference between ESG, Circularity, Sustainability, and Regeneration?
> The principles of regenerative businesses and investments
> How regeneration impacts not only what you do but how you do it. Which principles you can take along in your work and life?

De Balie presenteert het volgende event bij het Adyen hoofdkantoor op het Rokin.
Qua thema en ervaring past het precies bij de vragen die we binnen KULA hebben, de dingen die we willen leren. Laten we hier samen heen gaan. Meld je van te voren aan via de app - dan reserveren we een kaartje voor je.
We leven in een tijd waarin AI steeds intelligenter wordt en zichzelf kan verbeteren zonder tussenkomst van de mens. Dit geldt ook voor het genereren van unieke tekst en beelden, zoals te zien is in programma’s als ChatGPT en DALL-E. Hierdoor rijzen interessante vragen over de toekomst van creativiteit. Zullen computers binnenkort de literaire klassiekers van de toekomst schrijven?

KULA and Purpose Club present: Powerful Purpose Stories
Transparency in the supply chain
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑷𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒔!
Mart Veeken, Founder of Labl Fashion, and Alexis Castañeda Castagnino, Head of Operations at Wakuli talk about how they handle transparency in the supply chain in the fashion and coffee industry and share a thing or two about how they thrive in adversity.
Getting close to your busy December month, we’ve decided that this one will be online!
So go ahead and schedule an hour of your time during lunchtime to get inspired.
KULA invites you to come to the movies together. A Documentary called “Free Money”.
ABOUT THE DOCUMENTATRY.
When universal basic income (UBI) comes to the Kenyan village of Kogutu, lives are forever changed. GiveDirectly, one of the fastest growing nonprofits of the 21st century, is sending free money for twelve years as part of the world's largest UBI experiment. Filmmakers Lauren DeFilippo and Sam Soko juxtapose the story of these young economists, bankrolled by Silicon Valley and convinced that they have found an infallible algorithm to end world poverty, with portraits of local Kenyans whose lives are being dramatically impacted for better and for worse. UBI is at the forefront of political debate like never before, thanks to Andrew Yang's presidential candidacy, covid stimulus packages, and trials underway around the world. This documentary is a fascinating case study of life in a village-turned-petri-dish from the perspective of those living out this revolutionary idea.
WHY?
Stories are a beautiful way to start discussions, change our perceptions, and take us out of our sometimes ridged ways of thinking. We came across the partnership manager of IDFA and she shared a curated selection with us. This documentary feels like a topic that brings our innovative ways of thinking for a better, more inclusive world alive something that is in line with KULA’s values.
