Startup Fest Europe’s Investor Tour team member Ton has published an article over at Medium. Here are his 6 reasons why your startup should apply for Startup Fest Investor Tour on May 24th.
1. Access to top VCs.
During the Opening, there will be more than 100 partners of top tier European & US-based VCs present, like Golden Gate Ventures, Accel, Open Ocean Capital and many more.
2. Pitch your idea.
If you and your team get selected by the Investor Tour Selection Committee you might become one of the 50 European startups that will pitch for these VCs.
3. Hear the most innovative speakers.
You get the once in a lifetime opportunity to hear a line-up of legendary speakers on one stage. Ever seen Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, Uber’s CEO Travis Kalanick and Neelie Kroes at the same time?
4. Be part of something global.
This week is a nation-wide happening! Really, have you ever heard of an entire country opening up to become the ‘center of the startup world’?
5. Be part of something unique.
It will be fun. There will be rarely seen after hours venues and drinks & dinners all over the country. We have also prepared something special for the 50 startups that get selected to pitch.
6. Expand your network.
Even if you’re not looking for funding, Startup Fest Europe is a great way to build relationships with industry leaders, corporate leaders and other entrepreneurs. The Startup Fest general team is facilitating matchmaking on that level too.
