“Business is like marriage. You win in marriage by the fact that you just stay married.” Oof, that’s a good one, Luka Banovic. So, if you stay committed, it’ll pay off. 🦾 Check out what other bits of wisdom our Podim participants shared with Sandra Auer, our TikToker!

You’re not doing something right if your customers aren’t eager to switch to your product. Why? You haven’t achieved product market fit. Julien Coustaury (Fil Rouge Capital), Nina Hoedlmayr (Brevo), Kristina Marinovic (Duamentes) and Mirna Marovic (VentureXchange) discussed emerging market potentials and unlocking startup growth in the current market at Podim. Kristina states true PMF means customers are willing to pay for your solution. Now. Immediately. When they don’t, it usually means they’re hesitating. Why? They’ve found alternatives or they simply don’t want to solve the problem. That’s why PMF matters. “When you hit this sweet spot, scale your vision. Look for markets with millions of potential customers facing the same issue. In the venture world, we're all searching for those multipliers,” says Kristina. That’s why Podim isn’t just about networking, it’s also about learning.

We were trying to find an excuse to post this, but we couldn’t. 🤷 Not that the FINAL of the Pitching Competition needs one. The energy that filled the room that night was ecstatic. One startup’s clicker stopped working in the middle of his pitch. Then Daniel Cronin stepped in with one of his jokes to cut through the tension – which, surprisingly, worked pretty well! After that, our jury unleashed some tough questions. 😬 Then those green or red rockets made us go 🤗 or 😱! That was the gist of it. Or are we missing something? Oh right! We also crowned this year’s winner, hehe. It was a night of innovation, inspiration, and a few technical difficulties – just the way we like it. Until next year, keep those pitches sharp and those clickers clicking!

Is anyone still doing throwback Thursdays? Meh, guess we still are! So much so that this year’s Fusion Party deserves its own Podim post! Startup founders, investors, business leaders and even speakers let that Tuesday night become something special. From delicious food, wine, cocktails, luau necklaces, fire sunglasses to mirror men - we had it all. Take a look if you don’t believe us. 😉

The number is in and it’s about to shock you! It’s always so exciting to see so many people buzzing around our Deal Room, scheduling meetings and matchmaking like there’s no tomorrow. Drumroll, please. 🥁 There have been 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝟏𝟑𝟓𝟒 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 between our participants! Of course, those are just the recorded ones. 🤝 Since we’re counting, we wonder how many handshakes there have been during those 3 days at Podim.. Hmm.. 🤔 an interesting metric. But, better not get into that!
