Together with BiSM - Bucharest International School of Management, we designed a venture investment learning program for our community of investors.

In this series of 3 online and 1 offline events, experienced investors, business professionals and start-up founders will give you the structure and insights into trends, evaluating start-ups and understanding the triggers that make some companies grow more than others.
