EUROQUITY - WE’s Post

🌆 Is it absolutely necessary to attend tech conferences or is it a waste of time and money? 👉 https://ain.social/40msnOj Tech conferences have become almost vital platforms for startups and investors, providing opportunities to showcase products, acquire new knowledge, build valuable connections, secure partnerships, and raise funding. The number and variety of tech events in Europe, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, are steadily increasing. But are these events truly worth the investment in both money and time for startups and investors? AIN spoke to startup leaders and the region's top funds to determine whether tech conferences offer more advantages or drawbacks and to assess their overall effectiveness in driving business growth. Our speakers included Kuba Dudek, Managing Partner at SpeedUp Venture Capital Group, Maria Tyka-Majewska, Acceleration Lead at Huge Thing, Magdalena Stelmach, CEO of Redigo Carbon, Marcin Dolata, CEO of EasySolar, Tichomir Jenkut, associate at Presto Ventures, and Kamila Zahradnickova, Founder & CEO of Lakmoos AI. Thank you for your valuable insights and experiences! #techconferences #conferences #events #tech #startupevents #startups

If you’re an investor, this is why you shouldn’t miss out on Podim, according to Francois Mazoudier. Reach. You’d have to fly out to so many CEE countries and tech events to see the number of startups & investors you do at PODIM. Quality. Investors and startups are vetted, so you get to meet and connect with relevant individuals and companies. No drinking from a firehose of bad companies wasting your time. Efficiency. PODIM runs like clockwork, it should be a Swiss company. 😉 No time wondering what’s on, where, who. There’s super efficient use of limited time. European style. Nobody is barging in to pitch you. Everybody’s keen to build true relationships, have deep chats. There’s a great choice of places and side events. A soft sell. Pleasant, wouldn’t you say? See you there!

When attending events, it’s important to be prepared and ask ourselves: 1️⃣ What do I want to take away? Whether it’s inspiration, new partnerships, or insights to fuel growth, having a clear vision ensures the experience is productive. As for us, we are looking for new insights and are open to the possibility of taking in an investor. 2️⃣ What can I offer? Beyond networking, I believe in offering real value to those we meet. At QSimbo AB, we’re all about creating innovative digital solutions that empower small hospitality businesses. In addition, through my communication services, I help businesses craft authentic strategies and elevate their voice in a crowded market. 👉If you’re passionate about making an impact through technology or effective communication, let’s connect! 🌟Let’s go!

https://lnkd.in/djQb_9Hc "Startup Hacks for Impact Founders": the next Angel in Residence Meetup is here. It's great to have someone on board who I consider a "celebrity of impact" - Christian Röser, founder of Starkmacher e.V., the force behind the truly great Tumo Center for Creative Technologies in Mannheim. Join us on September 11! It's an old gripe of mine that #founders in #impact and #sustainability often inhabit their own, separate ecosystem. Separate co-working spaces, separate events, separate media, separate accelerators. Me, I've always believed that in order to be sustainable not only environmentally, but also commercially and professionally, the segment needs to run on proper startup (e-)fuel. Customer research and acquisition cost, business and stakeholder verification, cash flow planning, everything. Plus, of course, #GenAI. Let's tear down that wall and talk on eye level - because commercial startups need to become much more aware of the emerging Impact Measuring industry, too. 120 Million for Mannheim-based osapiens show that there's money in it!
