Gapstars
CTO Club
A private network of CTOs and senior engineering leaders navigating scale,
AI adoption, talent shortages, and technical debt.
What is the
Gapstars CTO club?
The Gapstars CTO Club connects 150+ CTOs and senior tech leaders across the Benelux and UK. From gatherings in Amsterdam to our expanding community in London, members share practical insights, tackle common challenges, and build lasting connections through focused discussions, informal meetups, and ongoing conversations.
Inside the CTO club
The CTO role doesn’t sit still. Today’s technology leaders are expected to ship faster, adopt AI responsibly, keep senior engineers, manage legacy, and justify spend to the board, often in the same week. The Gapstars CTO Club is a confidential, peer-level room where engineering leaders bring real problems, compare approaches, and leave with what’s actually working elsewhere.
Who should join?
The Gapstars CTO Club is for senior technology leaders
actively shaping how their organisations build.
Leading in Your Business

CTO Spotlights
Gapstars' CTO Nights are valuable and enjoyable, offering deep insights and great connections. The small group and relevant case discussions allow for critical questions and meaningful exchanges. Plus, they’re always fun, well-organized, and full of shared stories. Thanks, Gapstars!
CTO Nights are a great concept! Meeting regularly with the same group built trust and led to deeper discussions. The mix of locations, preparation, and diverse perspectives made it valuable. Well-organized, casual, and insightful—I’d highly recommend it and wouldn’t change much!
The CTO Nights are a great initiative by Gapstars to connect with other CTOs and brainstorm about complex challenges. A great atmosphere, wonderful people, and honest conversations. The perfect mix of inspiration and fun, and once again, Gapstars has done an excellent job organizing it!
