Tech Investors Academy

Pitch, wine & cheese?

To celebrate the end of the Masterclasses series, the experts will hold a joint session to reconcile all the information gathered during the past events in Bucharest. There will be a live startup pitch, and with the help of the panelists, attendees will ask the right questions to assess whether or not this is a viable investment opportunity. Last chance to say yes.

Investors resources pick

Without transparency, it is increasingly difficult for founders to maintain or gain the trust of investors.

Leadership based on trust helps people stick together in any situation, but especially in critical situations. That's what funders look for in founders.
