Enjoy a delicious lunch on the rooftop terrace while you network with the mornings' speakers and investors attending to meet and greet with Founders.

Founders can establish valuable connections with 8-10 VCs and gain insights into the investor landscape, learn about current trends in funding, and pitch their startup ideas directly to potential investors over a meal.

Most founders start fundraising within their network - which is great, but often not enough. This is when cold outreach is necessary. In this session, you will learn how to craft a highly converting cold outreach message that gets you investor meetings (+ the follow-ups).
